Reason # 82: Indictments and Convictions – Sexual Assault
Why do we need to defeat Donald Trump and ensure that a Democrat occupies the White House?
In May 2023, a New York jury found Donald Trump guilty of sexual assault and defamation of the character of E. Jean Carroll in 1996, in a dressing room at Bergdorf Goodman. He was fined $5 million in this civil proceeding.

In July, a federal judge upheld the verdict and fine.

In January 2024, in a second trial, a jury found Trump guilty of repeated defamation and imposed a fine of $83 million.

Eighteen other women have made accusations that Donald Trump kissed them or groped their breasts or genitalia, without their consent.

He has also been accused of entering dressing rooms where underage females were undressed.

Trump and his attorneys have denied all of these allegations, but he has admitted to many of them, in his own words, to Howard Stern and Billy Bush.

Specifically, his comments to Bush admitting that he kisses women without their permission and “grabs them by the pussy”, closely mirror the complaints of the eighteen women who have accused him of sexual abuse.
Trump’s legal team crowed that he had not been convicted of rape, but a judge explained that his commission of forced digital penetration meets the definition of rape in many states, but not in New York, where penile penetration is the legal standard for rape.
