DONALD TRUMP IS A RAPIST! (According to U.S. District Court Judge Lewis Kaplan). The judge wrote an order denying Trump's motion to reduce damages, reasoning that forcible digital penetration constituted rape:
"The finding that Ms. Carroll failed to prove that she was 'raped' within the meaning of the New York Penal Law does not mean that she failed to prove that Mr. Trump 'raped' her as many people commonly understand the word 'rape.' Indeed, as the evidence at trial recounted below makes clear, the jury found that Mr. Trump in fact did exactly that."
Although not directly addressed in this order, it would seem to sound the death knell for Trump's counter-claim that Carroll defamed him after the jury verdict by saying he "raped" her instead of "sexually assaulted" her.
