The writer, identified as E. Jean Carroll, aged 79, said that Trump assaulted her sexually in a New York department shop, and that he later defamed her after she made the claims public.
A rape allegation filed against Former US President, Donald Trump by prominent former American columnist, who said he raped her in the 1990s is fixed to start today in a civil trial.
Carroll, a former Elle magazine columnist, claims Trump raped her in the changing room of the posh Bergdorf Goodman department store on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan in the mid-1990s.Carroll first made the allegation in an excerpt from her book published by New York Magazine in 2019. But a new law took effect in November last year in New York that gives redress to victims of sexual assault decades after attacks may have occurred.
It also included defamation for a post that Trump made on his Truth Social platform where he denied the alleged rape and referred to Carroll as a “complete con job.”
