E. Jean Carroll took the stand this week and gave a harrowing account of an alleged sexual assault by Donald Trump in the 1990s. Carroll testified that Trump forced her against the wall of a department store fitting room and raped her.
Trump and sexual misconduct allegationsCarroll, 79, a former advice columnist, is suing Trump under a New York law passed last year. It opened a one-year window for victims of sexual assault to file civil lawsuits, regardless of when the alleged offenses took place. Previously, victims had 20 years to bring civil cases.On the stand, Carroll gave a detailed account of the alleged sexual assault inside Manhattan’s Bergdorf Goodman department store.
For Trump’s other accusers, the suggestion that Carroll had something to gain by coming forward is ludicrous. Even as other powerful men saw their careers derailed by claims of sexual assault during the rise of the #MeToo movement,. Dorris described feeling discarded or forgotten: Trump’s followers appear untroubled by the women’s accusations, while his critics are focused on newer alleged wrongdoings.
