(The Guardian) Writer E Jean Carroll files lawsuit against Trump over alleged sexual assault
Writer E Jean Carroll sued Donald Trump on Monday, accusing the president of defamation after she came forward this summer to allege that he raped her more than two decades ago in the dressing room of an upscale New York City department store.
Carroll, a longtime advice columnist, described the alleged assault in her book What Do We Need Men For?, an excerpt of which was published in New York magazine in June.
According to her account, which Trump has adamantly denied, Carroll said she ran into Trump, whom she had met a few years previously, at Bergdorf Goodman in late 1995 or early 1996. After chatting about lingerie, they shopped together before he attacked her in a dressing room.
She said Trump pulled down her tights and penetrated her before she was able to push him off of her and leave. Carroll does not describe the incident as “rape” though her description of the incident meets the legal definition.
