He has been found liable for sexual abuse and defamation, but he has not been found guilty of rape.

Writer E. Jean Carroll said Trump raped her in a Manhattan department store dressing room in the 1990s and then defamed her years later.

Trump denied all of the allegations against him.  However, during closing arguments yesterday, Carroll’s attorneys blasted Trump for not testifying in his own defense.

Because it’s a civil case, Trump does not face jail, but he has been ordered to pay her about $5 million.
