E. Jean Carroll, a former longtime advice columnist for Elle Magazine, is planning to bring a battery lawsuit against former President Donald Trump, who she claims raped her the 1990s in Bergdorf Goodman.
With her suit, Carroll will test a new New York law, the New York Adult Survivors Act, which gives adult victims of sexual assault a one-time window to file civil lawsuits, despite expired statues of limitation.
She has previously sued him for defamation for claiming she lied about the alleged attack, and will next week sue Trump for defamation again over a second public denial he made about the claims.
The author claimed in her 2019 book, which was serialized in New York Magazine, that Trump raped her in a dressing room at luxury department store Bergdorf Goodman after a chance encounter in the lingerie department during the mid-1990s.
Her version of the encounter alleges that following some banter about one of them trying on a bodysuit from the lingerie selection, Trump pinned her against a wall, yanked down her tights and forced himself upon her. . .
In her updated complaint, Carroll has included statements the former president has made about her since leaving office.
In an October 12 post to his Truth Social Platform, Trump wrote, 'And, while I am not supposed to say it, I will.'
'This woman is not my type! She has no idea what day, what week, what month...or what year this so-called 'event' supposedly took place,' he wrote. 'E. Jean Carroll is not telling the truth.
The comments are similar to one's Trump has previously made about the case, but they will have to be defended using a different strategy insofar as Trump was no longer a government official when he made them.
Earlier this week, he vowed to run again as president in 2024. . ."
