An American court has given a big blow to President Donald Trump in the sexual abuse case. The court has ordered to pay 5 million dollars to writer E. Jean Carroll. The court had found Trump guilty of sexually harassing and defaming the writer.
In fact, during Trump’s first term, the allegations made by writer E. Jean Carroll had created a sensation. After the allegations came to light, Trump called Carroll crazy and publicity-hungry. The court on Wednesday ordered Trump to pay $5 million to author E. Jean Carroll after she was found guilty of sexual harassment and defamation.
Last week, the US Supreme Court declined to hear Trump’s appeal against the original May 2023 verdict awarding him $2 million in damages for sexual harassment and $3 million for defamatory statements.
What is the whole matter?
E. Jean Carroll, 82, is a former journalist and columnist. . She had alleged that Donald Trump had harassed her in the dressing room of a department store in New York in 1996. When these allegations were published in a book in 2019, the Republican billionaire (Donald Trump) called her “crazy” and claimed she had fabricated her case.
In 2023, a New York federal jury found Trump guilty of sexually abusing Carroll and defaming the author through subsequent statements. The jury awarded Carroll $5 million in damages.
The decision became completely final after the Supreme Court refused to hear the appeal. After this, on Wednesday, Federal Judge Lewis Kaplan issued an order that Trump will have to deposit the required amount of $ 5 million in the court. There is also an order to pay interest rate. That means the writer will get around 58 lakh dollars.
