NEW The U.S. Court of Appeals upheld the jury's $5 million damages award in the case of elected President Donald Trump against a woman named E. Jean Carroll for rape and defamation, rejecting the request for a retrial.
TRUMP WAS CONDEMNED TO PAY 5 MILLION DOLLARS
The U.S. Second Circuit Court of Appeals announced its decision regarding Trump's appeal against the jury's decision. In the written statement of the appellate court, it was stated, "We found no indication that the district court made an error in its ruling," and it was also noted that there was no need for a new trial in the case.
HE HAD APPEALED
After the jury in the sexual harassment case ruled that Trump should pay Carroll $5 million in damages, he appealed in September, claiming that the judge made "many mistakes" during the trial and requested a retrial. In another case filed by Carroll, alleging that Trump sexually harassed her and defamed her, it was determined that the elected president should pay $83.3 million in damages.
"RAPE AND DEFAMATION" CASE
81-year-old E. Jean Carroll, a writer for a magazine, revealed that Trump raped her in the dressing room of Bergdorf Goodman in New York in the spring of 1996, while Trump denied the allegations.
In the "rape and defamation" case brought by Carroll, Trump was found guilty by a jury after two weeks of hearings in May 2023 and was sentenced to pay a total of $5 million in damages, including $2 million for sexual harassment and assault and $3 million for defamation. Following her first legal victory, Carroll filed a second "damages" lawsuit for $10 million in addition to the $5 million she won against Trump, and on September 6, 2023, the judge found Trump liable again in the case.
In the "damages" case that began on January 16 in New York, a 9-member jury ruled on January 26 that Trump should also pay an additional $83.3 million in damages.
