US Supreme Court Rejects Trump’s Appeal in Sexual Assault Case
On Monday, the US Supreme Court rejected Donald Trump’s attempt to overturn a jury judgment that found him guilty of sexually assaulting and defaming E Jean Carroll. The court issued its decision as part of several other rulings without providing reasons.
In May 2023, a federal civil court in Manhattan ruled that Trump was liable for sexual assault on Carroll in a New York department store in 1996. Trump criticized the Supreme Court’s decision not to reconsider the jury’s ruling.
Carroll’s attorney, Roberta Kaplan, said the Supreme Court’s decision confirms the jury’s verdict and ends Trump’s quest to avoid accountability for his actions. The court ordered Trump to pay Carroll $5 million – $2 million for sexual assault and $3 million for defamation.
In a separate defamation case, a jury had previously ordered Trump to pay Carroll $83.3 million, which was upheld on appeal. A criminal investigation into Carroll’s claims has been opened by the US Department of Justice, focusing on whether she lied under oath during depositions related to her two civil suits against Trump.
