Not sure why you're being downvoted, nobody here knows if he did it or not.
Unfortunately, that's pretty much a wrap for him. Nobody has come back from rape allegations, even if they win in court.
I don't even like the guy, but I really dislike how we've regressed to the point where feelings are more important than facts.
Trump lost in civil court for what the judge called rape, and still has a rabid fan base.
Why'd they try rape in civil court? Rape is a crime.
It was a defamation case in which the courts determined that Trump made false statements by denying the allegations because he most likely did sexually assault E. Jean Carroll.
No criminal case was brought because it's beyond the statute of limitations, and since the legal bar in a criminal case is higher I don't think any prosecutor would bring those charges even if statute of limitations wasn't an issue.
