I’ve been living under a rock - are you referring to Trump’s civil case against E. Jean Carroll or is there a criminal case out there that’s just not showing up on the first page of search results?
“The finding that Ms. Carroll failed to prove that she was ‘raped’ within the meaning of the New York Penal Law does not mean that she failed to prove that Mr. Trump ‘raped’ her as many people commonly understand the word ‘rape,’ ” Kaplan wrote.
He added: “Indeed, as the evidence at trial recounted below makes clear, the jury found that Mr. Trump in fact did exactly that.”
Kaplan said New York’s legal definition of “rape” is “far narrower” than the word is understood in “common modern parlance.”
Probably a step too far to say “convicted” (since that implies criminal court) but I don’t particularly feel bad when I’m dealing with people who lie as easily as they fucking breathe.
