Writer E. Jean Carroll said the verdict that found former President Trump liable for sexually abusing and defaming her is a win for every woman who “suffered because she was not believed.”
“I filed this lawsuit against Donald Trump to clear my name and to get my life back. Today, the world finally knows the truth. This victory is not just for me but for every woman who has suffered because she was not believed,” she said in a statement.
A nine-member jury did not find that Trump had raped Carroll but found him liable for sexual battery and defamation Tuesday after an almost two-week trial. The jury ordered Trump to pay about $5 million in damages overall.
Carroll said Trump raped her in 1996 in New York City in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room.
