ニューヨーク・タイムズさんのインスタグラム写真 - (ニューヨーク・タイムズInstagram)「The writer E. Jean Carroll took the witness stand Wednesday to tell a Manhattan jury her story of how former President Donald Trump raped her one evening nearly 30 years ago in a Manhattan department store dressing room. It was the second day of a trial in a lawsuit by Carroll, 79, against Trump, 76, brought under a new law in New York that allows sexual assault victims to sue the people they say abused them, even if the statute of limitations has expired. Trump denies the allegations. “I’m here because Donald Trump raped me and when I wrote about it, he said it didn’t happen,” Carroll said shortly after taking the witness stand. “He lied and shattered my reputation, and I’m here to try and get my life back.” She recounted the day she said Trump attacked her in a dressing room in the lingerie section of Bergdorf Goodman in Manhattan, an encounter that she said started with lighthearted banter. Carroll’s lawyers are asking the jury in Federal District Court to find Trump liable for battery and defamation, and if he is found responsible, to award monetary damages. Trump has accused Carroll, a former magazine columnist, of lying and has attacked her repeatedly in public statements and on social media, both while in office and after leaving. Carroll said nothing publicly about the encounter for decades before publishing a memoir in 2019 that accused Trump of attacking her. Tap the link in our bio to read live updates from the trial.
