Not guilty for rape, but liable for other civil-related stuff. He's supposed to pay her $5 million.
UPDATE: President Trump has issued a response to the verdict.
Truth Social post
A civil jury in New York City has found President Donald Trump not guilty of raping E. Jean Carroll in a department store dressing room nearly three decades ago. The jury found Trump liable for forcibly touching, sexually abusing and battery of Carroll. They also found he defamed her. Trump will be ordered to pay Carroll $5 million in damages.
President Trump denied all of the charges and accusations. Further, he maintains he never knew or met Carroll.
"It's the most ridiculous, disgusting story. It's just made up," Trump said during his deposition in the case.
Trump's legal team has vowed to appeal the verdict.
Carroll's lawsuit against Trump was funded by Democratic mega donor Reid Hoffman.
Earlier this month, Carroll’s lawyers disclosed to Trump’s team that Carroll “now recalls that at some point, her counsel secured additional funding from a nonprofit organization to offset certain expenses and legal fees.”
Billionaire Reid Hoffman, the co-founder of LinkedIn who has donated millions to Democrats and liberal causes, primarily funded that nonprofit, court documents show.
This is a breaking story, stay tuned for updates.

If it's an enemy of democracy (anyone out of goose-step) these are no different than chaining a victim to a bed and forcibly assaulting them with various household objects for days. If it's a protected group (alphabet soup crowd, illegal aliens, big $$$ Democrat donors) these actions are no big deal.
Not down playing or minimizing doing anything to anyone without consent, just calling out the semantic games that will be played with this.

Those NY jurors are stupider or more dishonest than I thought. Or both.

Reportedly, the LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman bankrolled Carroll's lawsuit. Not surprisingly, he's a billionaire megadonor to the Dems.
Kinda wondering if the DNC is going to take this liability (which Trump is appealing, of course) and attempt to disqualify him from running for president. This is what they've been angling for all this time.
Granted, this was a civil lawsuit, but you know how the Dems love to twist things..... :popcorn:
