A preview of a new defamation lawsuit that is going to be filed against former President Donald Trump includes allegations of sexual battery, which will be punishable through a civil lawsuit after a new law in New York goes into effect next week.
Lawyers for former Elle columnist E. Jean Carroll said in a court filing filed in the Southern District of New York that the lawsuit will include six criminal allegations against Trump, including Carroll’s allegation that the former president raped her in the dressing room of a department store in the mid-1990s.
“Trump’s physical contact with Carroll was offensive and wrongful under all the circumstances,” the lawsuit says. “Trump continued to attack and rape Carroll despite her attempts to fight against him.”
The former president’s actions constitute sexual offenses, including rape in the first degree, rape in the third degree, sexual abuse in the first degree, sexual abuse in the third degree, sexual misconduct, and forcible touching, according to the lawsuit.
“I don’t know this woman, have no idea who she is, other than it seems she got a picture of me many years ago, with her husband, shaking my hand on a reception line at a celebrity charity event,” Trump posted last month.
“She completely made up a story that I met her at the doors of this crowded New York City Department Store and, within minutes, ‘swooned’ her. It is a Hoax and a lie, just like all the other Hoaxes that have been played on me for the past seven years.”
The new suit will be filed next week after the new law goes into effect on Nov. 24. The law is part of the Adult Survivors Act, which gives adult sexual assault victims a chance to file civil lawsuits even if the statues of limitation has expired.
