A New York jury has found that Donald Trump sexually abused the advice columnist E Jean Carroll in a New York department store 27 years ago.
The verdict for the first time legally brands a former US president as a sexual predator. But as it is the result of a civil and not criminal case, the only legal sanction Trump will face is financial.
The jury deliberated for less than three hours. The verdict will add to Trump’s growing legal woes. Last month he pled not guilty to 34 criminal charges of falsifying business records over the payment of hush-money to the porn star Stormy Daniels during the 2016 presidential election. It also looks likely that Trump will face criminal charges over his attempts to falsify the result of the presidential election in Georgia. » | Chris McGreal in New York | Tuesday, May 9, 2023
