BREAKING: Donald Trump found liable for sexually abusing and defaming E. Jean Carroll in civil trial and is ordered to pay nearly $5 million.
While Trump’s litigious strategy has routinely been laughed out of court, Carroll’s could be viewed as a blueprint.
But while Trump’s litigious strategy has routinely been laughed out of court, Carroll’s could be viewed as a blueprint for other alleged victims of sexual assault. Her case is not the first case to grow out of the #metoo movement. It is not the first case brought against an extremely powerful man. But there are plenty of historic firsts in this case. Most notably, Trump is the first former president to be sued for defamation based on a claim of battery.
And historic firsts pave the way for the seconds and the thirds. The next woman who is victimized by a powerful man who then denies that he engaged in wrong behavior does not have to wonder if she can find any recourse in a courtroom. She can. Carroll’s case — and her bravery — teaches us that.
