Thank you for putting this together so concisely. It’s clear to anyone interested in the facts - regardless of your love or loathing of Trump - that this is a travesty. As if I’ve not lost faith in nearly every institution. Now this.
Please consider making this free so I can post it to my IG story kellylane2 and spread the word. It really makes my love boil to see such a blatant scam. And so many people gloating in the asinine process.
Trump can’t defend himself? No DNA. No witnesses. 30 years later. Jury found no rape? Really? Now 100 million award and she’s going to get a townhouse in Paris and buy shoes? Hate women like this .... disservice to the real victims of rape and abuse.
“Disservice to the real victims of rape and abuse.” Exactly!
She gives me the creeps, but have to admit that her man-hating, sexualized behaviour and comments do ring true to some kind of abuse or daddy issues. But not abuse by Trump and she certainly doesn’t have the right to trivialize sexual abuse/rape.
Excellent point. Our judicial system relies on precedent. If this case sets a precedent, that would most definitely not serve real victims well. This isn't just about Trump. I hope people realize that.
According to this judge and ruling, any woman can accuse any man of rape at any point during his life without evidence, witnesses, testing or DNA. In fact, you don't even need to recall the date or specific details. Women can ruin a mans reputation, take his money and destroy his life, because they said so. This is the type of ruling I expect to see in 3rd world corrupt dictatorships. Rome is burning. I have 3 step sons, a husband, a Dad, 2 brothers, and a lot of male friends, this makes me worried for all of them. It's an atrocious overreach of the justice system and sets a pathetic precedent. To add insult to injury, the ladies on The View walked out to yesterdays show dancing to The Apprentice theme song "Money Money Money" to mock Trump. It was so tasteless and insulting to all women and our intelligence.
When the "me-too" movement went too far, I always think about Emmet Till. Didn't that start by a woman who lied or exaggerated the situation? I don’t blame you one bit for worrying about the men in your life. Stay strong!
There are plenty of women that need to be believed and there is a lot of abuse and women who have suffered because of violent sexual abuse. This case does not add up, and the settlement amount is laughable, the court bias is appalling and the gleeful celebration by liberal women is terrifying. It’s only a matter of time before the hammer nails them, their guys and their sons. They have opened Pandora’s box and their joy will be short lived. Trump is plenty wrong on a myriad of things, this is just not one of them. Another way to “influence” the election against Trump because most people don’t read the news, lack intellectual curiosity and prefer to digest headlines. 😖😭
Lots of victims of crimes never get justice. Just like too many men falsely accused of rape never get justice. The same is true of the many women who have falsely claimed spousal abuse in a divorce/child custody case in order to gain custody. The accusation alone wrecks their lives. You have a twisted sense of what is going on in the real world, where you seem to think everything is cut and dried, easy to sort out, and always the man’s fault. Your imbecilic support of this Carroll fraudster and the dumpster fire of a judicial proceeding disqualifies you from any consideration of credibility
Let's see some statistics of domestic violence and rape, how many of the perps go to prison, and how many of the accusations are false.
In 2021, we have seen a prime example. Poor victimized man was assaulted by the woman, and officers wanted to put her in prison because she was the main aggressor. Never mind that she was two heads shorter and half his weight. She slapped the boyfriend who wanted to kick her out of HER own car. One of the responding officers threatened her with prison time because, according to state laws, men have the same rights and women can be aggressors. Gabby Petito, does the name ring a bell?
I bet a lot of rape victims never get justice. I said that above. Enjoy your perspective, I just don’t believe all women all the time. Using common sense and reasoning, seeking truth and looking at facts does t make me a man defender. It makes me a critical thinker and a believer in justice for all. I think our conversation has run it’s course, you are choosing to misrepresent my comments and have retorted to name calling.
Let's see how many rape victims get justice. Out of 1000 rapes, about 6 rapists go to prison. Every 5th American women get sexually assaulted during her life. Not in a war zone, in America. No statistics to be proud of!
By the way, domestic violence was at an all time high in 2020 (murder rates, too). Guess under whose watch.
I guess we don’t agree that she’s a victim. She’s accused 7 other men of rape in addition to Trump. Seems unlikely that she has been raped by 8 men. Her public dog and pony show of lies takes away from women that have real trauma and real sexual assault. When women toss “rape” around casually, all women suffer. Do you really believe that this woman has been raped 8 times? Perhaps there’s something wrong with you if you’re not able to question something this unusual. What about the fact that she didn’t say anything for 30 years or the fact that her foggy accusations mirrors a TV show that she was obsessed with or the fact that she was sexually obsessed with Trump (documented) or the fact that there’s absolutely no evidence whatsoever to support her claims? None of this matters to your brain? No logic in your brain makes you want to know more or perhaps question the authenticity of her claims?
So yes, I hate this whole situation and women that degrade other real victims of abuse. Something this sketchy and unbelievable erodes the “believe all women” mindset. Never mind that Clinton’s and Biden’s accusers were never believed, despite mountains of evidence, dates, facts, DNA, known relationships, etc. They both have women who claim they were raped - yet the media and liberals have zero interest in believing those women.
I hope you know that once a woman was raped, she will be MORE likely to be raped again by someone else. Predators can sense the insecurity or misery the first rape had caused, and they act upon it. Not my personal opinion, it is statistics. Look up the subject if you are interested.
I studied statistics, cases, affidavits, hundreds of them. Seems it is not the case with you, but you already make remarks about my brain.
By the way, some rape victims experience FREEZE reflex instead of fight or flight. In an emergency, the brain prepares for death or horrible pain, so it tries to minimize pain and shuts down senses. Some victims repress memories and develop PTSD. Others do not dare to speak up for years, because, forgive me an honest word, because of people like you.
And E. Jean Carroll’s false accusations have made it much more difficult for victims of genuine assault to be taken seriously. She has done immense harm.
False accusers are also predators, worse even, because they prey not only on the victims they falsely accuse, but on the actual victims of predators whose testimony they discredit by their lies. I would regard false accusers of rape as being morally on a par with rapists, and they should do the same jail time.
Trump is innocent, and Carroll should be jailed. Kaplan and his protege, the prosecutor, Kaplan, should have their licenses revoked, and Trump should take them, along with Carroll and her backers to the cleaners in a fair court. They deserve to spend the rest of their lives on the streets eating out of trash.
There’s something seriously mentally wrong with her. A (supposed) vivid attack would not be an easily forgotten date, and it would not be followed up by loving a tv show with the “attacker” as the star character.
Honestly, that’s the hook that resonates with me the most. Who becomes a super fan of a show that has your abuser/predator staring on it? Then to openly state on social media how much you love it? That’s makes absolutely zero sense. I’m not even a big Trump fan but that alone makes me question all of it. There’s just no way.
It really is scary that judges are allowed to act this way. I have seen terrible lawyers, terrible defendants, terrible witnesses, but there was always the hope that a JUDGE would serve justice, and see through all the bs. It just is ridiculous. And if she was a victim, I would want to believe her. BUT.... and there is always that.... you have to really be one. Sounds cold, but I have known women who actually were and those who were not and pretended to be. So I am not against women - I am against liars. Even if the accusation is against someone I don't care for, I would not side with the woman lying.....ugh. my hope in humanity is really on the edge lately!! Excellent article, Jess!
does anyone wonder how the jurors feel after the case is over, to finally get access to all the stuff they weren’t allowed to see...that really gets me...I think that would completely undo me if I was a juror swayed one way and then the blinders came off. Like, what have I done...
Only if the jurors weren’t all in on it. I read somewhere that jurors in NYC are often swayed. Use to be by the Mob and now is by the in the legal system there.
How does a reasonable person conclude she is lying about the rape but telling the truth about the sexual assault? It’s absurd. But that’s what the jury found— she lied about the rape
Interesting thought. I hadn't considered what the jurors would think after the trial and after seeing what was withheld from them. So question.... can a juror sue a judge for withholding information from them and prohibiting them from making the correct judgment??? Has that ever been done. I would be furious if i had been a juror on that trial.
I doubt this jury gives a hoot. They basically called her a liar about the rape but credible about the assault. There was no contradicting testimony. There’s no physical evidence, no known date— Her ridiculous story is the entire case. Both happened or neither happened. The jurors lapped up this sham and embarrassed our judicial system. The Clinton judge doesn’t care if he gets overturned in a few years— he did his job, which was to get the headlines.
Just imagine the society we could live in, if the amount of money pumped into politics for power was put into the communities. It’s disgusting to think about
As I sit here aghast - I absolutley cannot believe how this whole thing took shape. The players involved, the judge who CLEARLY was skewed. How could this happen? Hate is powerful and that is evident here. I can only hope that truth prevails and that real victims get the help and support they deserve and need. Thank you, Jessica for all you are doing to open people’s eyes and see things from more than one side. I appreciate all you do and I think you are doing a great job of it! (Should I have not used an exclamation point? Lol. )
Oh Jessica, this is unbelievable and definitely proves that your writers block is over. I’m almost speechless. I sat in my office and listened to this 3 times and it still feels unimaginable! After thirty years with no proof, no evidence or DNA, no witnesses and no testimony from Trump, allowed this woman gets Millions? Everything you wrote about, all her bullshit, her interviews and crazy remarks just proves how this whole situation is not to tell the truth but to make sure Trump is further cast now as a rapist and a deviant in addition to being a criminal! Rachel Maddow makes me sick and can join her in hell! I loathe them both. This society is falling apart with all the evil in it. Imagine being okay with all the lies.
I have no idea how they’re getting away with this! It seems everybody is corrupt. And we know that the judges are corrupt now too. I guess it’s always been a little bit that way. People being corrupt I mean. But now with social media everybody is being made more aware of what’s going on.
The jury rejected her rape claim. But they also found that instead of being raped, she had been sexually assaulted. Base on what? Carroll said she was raped. If they believe one part of the story, why on earth would they not believe the other? It’s mind numbingly stupid.
It’s frightening how weaponized our justice system is now. If you believe this wack job, then you are truly brainwashed. I was 5 when I was abused and can tell you the date, where it happened and what I was wearing. You don’t forget even 40+ years later. This woman is a liar!
I’m speechless honestly. This woman, that video clip 🤢 Seems like there’s no integrity anywhere anymore. Except here of course 🤓 in re writers block, try to give yourself some grace. Wild that it’s only the end of January... it’s been a loaded few weeks.
If I were raped I would remember the day, time and every detail! And I would not stay silent for 30 years. I’m not sure how a jury could render a verdict with no evidence. If it wasn’t so scary it would be hilarious!
Indeed. Raped by an A list celebrity (likely most recognizable person in NYC) in a famous dept store, but can’t remember what year it happened. Then she wore her “rape dress” for a magazine cover photo, but it turns out the particular dress was not made until a couple years later. Even the magazine had to walk that back. Nothing about her nutjob story has an ounce of credibility. But the jurors were somehow able to discern that she was not raped, but was sexually assaulted. The jurors are a disgrace, too.
Sadly, my answer is no. I lost faith in the justice system after reading, The Franklin Cover-up. I was never the same after reading that. I am disturbed by E. Jean and anyone else who defends or believes her. Jessica, thank you for removing the paywall on this article. This great piece deserves to be read by everyone. I’m forwarding to others. And thank you KELLYRODTS for suggesting removing the paywall! I loved what Ray Bradbury said about writer’s block. I have never read his books. I just stumbled on a fiery speech he gave on YouTube and his simple words stayed with me. “If you have writer’s block, stop and write something else. You’re not writing about the subject you want to write about.”
You welcome Diane. The author was one of the attorneys and Nebraska senator. It’s not a pleasant subject, but one gets a clear understanding how banking, elites, politicians, police and the Justice system work together to cover-up crimes.
Thank you Jessica for the bullet points on this case. As a juror, all I'd need is: "Carroll has previously accused multiple men of sexually assaulting or raping her throughout her life including: a babysitter's boyfriend, a dentist, a camp counselor, an unnamed college date, an unnamed boss, and CBS chief executive Les Moonves." 83 MILLION DOLLARS. What a farce of a 'justice' system, and a slap in the face to women who really are raped.
I was not raped, but I was sexually assaulted. I was 14 years old at the time. I am now 61 and I can tell you exactly where it happened, what happened, and what I did during the attack (I fought!). I cannot identify him since it happened in complete darkness. I can also tell you the month, year and location. I also remember exactly what i did after this atrack, who I told. I still have some moments when it gives me anxiety, rarely, thank God, but a victim NEVER forgets the things she forgot. This woman is a YUGE liar.
Carroll’s story only works if she cannot recall the day, month or year. Even for 25 years ago, there would likely be records of Trump business travel, meetings, events that would prove he could not have been in that dept store. But she “remembered” what dress she was wearing, and posed in it for a magazine cover. Then it was discovered that the “rape dress” wasn’t made by the company until a couple years later. The entire story is a fraud, and the judge and jury are a disgrace.
Good for you? Why do you assume that all rape/assault victims have the exact same experience and reaction as you did? A lot of victims don’t come forward because of people like you who attempt to invalidate their experience because it doesn’t match what YOU experienced. Couldn’t we also argue that immediately telling people about your experience is “attention seeking”? Bc in my personal experience victims are actually ashamed or embarrassed to admit what happened to them? How does it feel to have your experience invalidated bc it doesn’t match MY experience?
And that is the sole reason behind all of this. To break our constitution, deny rights to us ALL and use the most powerful example right in front of us. This isn’t just about justice for Trump. The evil regime is sending a message that One World Order is here and we have no protection against it. Comply or be destroyed.
I'm in UK + British but I think it would be brilliant. We are now involved,willingly or not in a Cosmic Battle,way above our level of understanding and Trump and Putin happen to be on the side of the Gods. Which doesn't actually mean they are necessarily nice people,or have to be. Don't ask me how it works. It's beyond me. I know Satan has got himself a nice gaff in The White House with a summer retreat at Vatican City. (This comes of having a Dad who was into Biblical Prophecy.)
She’s a fraud, loves fantasizing about being dashed about- and wouldn’t - and hasn’t - ever been upset when she’s invited and courted tough rough trade into her own living room. This is how I imagine her.
Her imagination went wild when the Trumpster probably gave her a wink- and walked BY her.
Look at the history! She’s crushed on him
for years.
One tawdry bitch.
( Keep going MeToo- your stale tales ain’t breaking MY heart. )
Thank you for putting this together so concisely. It’s clear to anyone interested in the facts - regardless of your love or loathing of Trump - that this is a travesty. As if I’ve not lost faith in nearly every institution. Now this.
Please consider making this free so I can post it to my IG story kellylane2 and spread the word. It really makes my love boil to see such a blatant scam. And so many people gloating in the asinine process.

Ok, good idea! I'll remove paywall now. xx
“Disservice to the real victims of rape and abuse.” Exactly!

From now on, those poor victimized men need to keep it in the pants and ask for C.O.N.S.E.N.T. How shocking and sad.
Do you have an idea how many rape victims never get justice? Thanks to men defenders like you.
Frankly, you have all the love for the male friends and relatives, but you have no idea about rape and women victims.
Lots of victims of crimes never get justice. Just like too many men falsely accused of rape never get justice. The same is true of the many women who have falsely claimed spousal abuse in a divorce/child custody case in order to gain custody. The accusation alone wrecks their lives.

Because until now, victims of assault were taken seriously and treated so well and always got justice?
By the way, there were no false accusations. Trump is a textbook definition of a predator. It is stamped over him.
False accusers are also predators, worse even, because they prey not only on the victims they falsely accuse, but on the actual victims of predators whose testimony they discredit by their lies. I would regard false accusers of rape as being morally on a par with rapists, and they should do the same jail time.

I expect they only picked the stupid ones
I read it was 7 men and two women which is even more mind blowing!!
If there were more women, they would have seen through E. Jean Carroll. Men tend to favor women uncritically. It’s a known bias.
Yes, Lacey! One of my first reactions was to feel for the jurors and all the feelings that they must have to deal with after they learn all
How does a reasonable person conclude she is lying about the rape but telling the truth about the sexual assault? It’s absurd. But that’s what the jury found— she lied about the rape

No, the jury found him not guilty of rape and the judge said it was rape in the common understanding of the word.

Thank you for taking the time to give that info, Audrey
Every institution in this country is thoroughly corrupt, possibly beyond saving.
No.
Thank you Jessica for the bullet points on this case. As a juror, all I'd need is: "Carroll has previously accused multiple men of sexually assaulting or raping her throughout her life including: a babysitter's boyfriend, a dentist, a camp counselor, an unnamed college date, an unnamed boss, and CBS chief executive Les Moonves." 83 MILLION DOLLARS. What a farce of a 'justice' system, and a slap in the face to women who really are raped.
I was not raped, but I was sexually assaulted. I was 14 years old at the time. I am now 61 and I can tell you exactly where it happened, what happened, and what I did during the attack (I fought!). I cannot identify him since it happened in complete darkness. I can also tell you the month, year and location. I also remember exactly what i did after this atrack, who I told. I still have some moments when it gives me anxiety, rarely, thank God, but a victim NEVER forgets the things she forgot. This woman is a YUGE liar.
Yes! This! I can name all details even at 10 years old.
Carroll’s story only works if she cannot recall the day, month or year. Even for 25 years ago, there would likely be records of Trump business travel, meetings, events that would prove he could not have been in that dept store. But she “remembered” what dress she was wearing, and posed in it for a magazine cover. Then it was discovered that the “rape dress” wasn’t made by the company until a couple years later. The entire story is a fraud, and the judge and jury are a disgrace.
Good for you? Why do you assume that all rape/assault victims have the exact same experience and reaction as you did? A lot of victims don’t come forward because of people like you who attempt to invalidate their experience because it doesn’t match what YOU experienced. Couldn’t we also argue that immediately telling people about your experience is “attention seeking”? Bc in my personal experience victims are actually ashamed or embarrassed to admit what happened to them? How does it feel to have your experience invalidated bc it doesn’t match MY experience?
I’ve been waiting for you to write something on this and you did not disappoint. Bravo 👏🏻
I hate injustice. Wouldn’t it be funny if trump did win this year after all this crap he went through
Oh. He’s going to win.
We just might not be told.
And that is the sole reason behind all of this. To break our constitution, deny rights to us ALL and use the most powerful example right in front of us. This isn’t just about justice for Trump. The evil regime is sending a message that One World Order is here and we have no protection against it. Comply or be destroyed.
If you just called out “C” as in Comply, yes, it’s glaringly, frighteningly, on my card.
I'm in UK + British but I think it would be brilliant. We are now involved,willingly or not in a Cosmic Battle,way above our level of understanding and Trump and Putin happen to be on the side of the Gods. Which doesn't actually mean they are necessarily nice people,or have to be. Don't ask me how it works. It's beyond me. I know Satan has got himself a nice gaff in The White House with a summer retreat at Vatican City. (This comes of having a Dad who was into Biblical Prophecy.)
She’s a fraud, loves fantasizing about being dashed about- and wouldn’t - and hasn’t - ever been upset when she’s invited and courted tough rough trade into her own living room. This is how I imagine her.
Her imagination went wild when the Trumpster probably gave her a wink- and walked BY her.
Look at the history! She’s crushed on him
for years.
One tawdry bitch.
( Keep going MeToo- your stale tales ain’t breaking MY heart. )
E. Jean Carroll is just the one to interpret a germophobic grimace from Trump as a wink.
Dying. 😁
