A Manhattan jury has officially found President Trump guilty of sexual assault sort of.

It's a little bit confusing because the jury's verdict contradicts itself and because the plaintiffs

claims have changed quite a lot over the four years since she made the allegation

about the incident which she says occurred 27 or 28 years ago. I say 27 or 28 because she can't

quite remember which year the alleged rape occurred. According to E. Jean Carroll,

sometime in the mid-90s, Donald Trump raped her in a dressing room of the luxury department store

Burgdorf Goodman, a scenario that coincidentally was the plot of an episode of Law and Order

S.V.U. seven years before Carol first published her allegation. I will spare you the graphic wording

but suffice it to say, according to that allegation, Donald Trump did not merely

grope or molester in some way but perpetrated a full-on rape. Shortly after making the accusation,

though, during an appearance on Anderson Cooper, E. Jean Carroll seemed to walk back her claim.

Simultaneously claiming that Trump did not rape her and also that rape is sexy.

You don't feel like a victim. I was not thrown on the ground in ravish,

which the word rape carries so many sexual connotation. This was not sexual.

I think most people think of rape as a violent assault. I think most people think of rape as being

sexy. Let's take a short break. Think of the fantasies.

We're going to take a quick break if you can stick around and we'll talk more on the other side.

You're fascinating to talk to. Fascinating.

But now in a civil suit that was allowed long after the expiration of the statute of limitations

because of a 2022 law passed in New York, Carol returned to a alleging rape. Trump,

for his parts since day one, has maintained that the incident never happened and he refused to

appear or present any evidence during the trial. Yesterday, the jury seemed to agree with Trump.
