The United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit issued a written opinion upholding the damages the Manhattan jury awarded to E. Jean Carroll for defamation and sexual abuse.
A federal appeals court on Monday upheld a jury’s ruling in a civil case which determined that Donald Trump sexually abused a columnist in the fitting room of an upscale department store in the mid-1990s.
The United States Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit issued a written opinion supporting the Manhattan jury’s $5 million award to E. Jean Carroll for defamation and sexual abuse.
The longtime columnist had testified in a 2023 trial that Trump turned a friendly encounter in the spring of 1996 into a violent attack after they playfully entered the store’s fitting room.
Trump walked out of the trial after repeatedly denying that the attack had occurred. However, he testified briefly in a follow-up trial earlier this year that resulted in an $83.3 million award.
The second trial stemmed from comments then-President Trump made in 2019 after Carroll first made the allegations public in a memoir.
