US writer testifies that Donald Trump raped her 30 years ago

 

A writer told the United States civil trial Wednesday that an alleged sexual assault by Donald Trump 30 years ago left her perplexed, aso Naija reports 

“I’m here because Donald Trump raped me,” E. Jean Carroll said in Manhattan’s federal court, which is hearing a defamation and battery lawsuit against the former president.

The case is one in a series of legal challenges facing Trump as the 76-year-old Republican seeks a return to the White House.

Carroll, 79, has sued Trump alleging he sexually assaulted her in a changing room at the luxury Bergdorf Goodman department store in Manhattan in the mid-1990s.

Continuing, She also claims that Trump then defamed her when she went public with the allegations years later.

But Trump has repeatedly denied the allegations and has not been criminally charged.

The former Elle magazine columnist described to jurors how a chance encounter with Trump in the Manhattan store quickly turned violent.

Furthermore, She said that after Trump playfully asked her for advice on buying a women’s lingerie gift, he “shoved” her against the wall of the dressing room.

All his weight (was) against my chest. He pulled down my tights. I was pushing him back,” Carroll told jurors from the witness stand.

She first made the allegation in an excerpt from her book published by New York Magazine in 2019.

However, when she was Asked why it took her more than 20 years to go public with her allegations, she responded: “I was frightened by Donald Trump. I was ashamed. I thought it was my fault.”

So,  Carroll filed the lawsuit late last year after a law took effect in New York that gave victims of sexual assault a one-year window to sue their alleged abusers decades after attacks may have occurred
