A former president who claims to “Make America Great Again” is founded in court as being sexually assaulted and harassed; a eighty-year-old female writer stands in court to uncover the dark experiences of years ago.
The mouth denial, internet insult, court absence, but in exchange is a paper high sentence. The story comes here, not just a moral scandal, but a political and legal shock. The United States to the outside self-proclaimed "human rights lighthouse", but played such a play at its own door, what is behind this?
The hat is not chosen, the lawsuit is chosen
New York in 1996， 79-year-old writer E. Jean Carroll Jean Carroll met Donald Trump at a luxury store in Manhattan。She is a columnist for Elle magazine and writes about emotional counseling.
At that time, Trump was funny and talkative and invited her to help pick out gifts. After picking out a hat, he wanted to buy underwear, and finally took her into the locker room. Carol described in court: "Trump pushed me against the wall and sexually assaulted me." She said the open dressing room door had troubled her for years.
Carol explained that she did not initially report to the police because “Elle” was a friend of Trump, and she was afraid to lose her job. She first disclosed this in her autobiography, which resulted in Trump and his supporters being violently attacked. Trump repeatedly denied sexual assault, calling her a fraudster, “not at all, she wrote this only to sell books.”
2019Carol is officially The Manhattan CourtLaunching a complaint claiming that Trump has destroyed her reputation; November 2022She said: “Trump raped me, but said I lied and destroyed my reputation.
May 9, 2023composed of six men and three women. New York Federal Court JuryAfter hours of consideration, the ruling ruled that Trump was responsible for “sexual assault” and “mobbing.”
The jury found that Carroll failed to fully prove "rape" but that Trump was responsible for "sexual assault." This was the only case that won the jury among the more than a dozen sexual misconduct charges faced by Trump.
The verdict requires Trump to pay Total $5 millionamong them 2 millionFor sexual assault, Three millionTrump, who was absent from trial, posted on the social platform that the verdict was “shameful” and said “I absolutely don’t know who this woman is.”
If you can't talk hard, the compensation will be increased
January 2024, another heavy ruling has come. Manhattan federal courtJudgment: Trump to pay for continued Ebola Carol $83.3 million。 The panel of seven men and two women reached an agreement in three hours after listening to witnesses such as Trump and Carroll.

Judge Lewis KaplanRemind the jury to "not identify yourself" after sentencing to prevent retaliation. This is the latest legal setback on Trump's way back to the White House campaign.
Carroll responded: "I'm not solving political issues, I'm solving personal issues." She publicly stated that the lawsuit was to "regain her reputation" rather than a political struggle.
The Trump team said. AppealedHowever, no actual action was taken at the time of the judgment.
Not a single case, but a series of charges.
Caroline’s case is not isolated. in 1997Makeup artist Jill Harth has been sued for “tempt to rape” in the Trump villa.
She said Trump knew she had a boyfriend, but on several occasions acted hand in hand and even called her "I love you, I will be the best lover."
in 1994One at the time. 13 year old girl.When attending a party at Epstein's mansion, he claimed to have been raped by Trump and Epstein, and was threatened with "killing the whole family if they dare to say anything."
Witness Tiffany DoeEven though she had not witnessed the rape process, the testimony intensified public opinion shock.
Trump has denied all of these allegations, calling them "false, nauseous, blind-eyed" and his daughter Ivanka has also defended it, saying his father was not a "sweet pig".
Behind this series of accusations, the reflection is the power tolerance and the legal game of American society.A former president and re-elected candidate who cries "human rights" internationally, but has been accused of violating women many times in the country.
This contrast not only tears American society apart, but also makes the outside world see the shadow behind the so-called "lighthouse" clearly.
Manhattan's $83.3 million ruling in 2024Trump’s appeal is unknown, but the court’s verdict has been written in the case.
