Lawyer Tells Jury How Trump Forced His Penis Inside Author’s Vagina
The defamation trial stemming from Donald Trump’s comments after raping author E. Jean Carroll in a New York City dressing room got underway this week, and during her opening statement to the jury, Carroll’s attorney described the assault, via Law&Crime:
During Crowley’s opening statement, she laid out the allegations in graphic detail, telling jurors that Trump “jammed” his hand up Carroll’s dress, pulled down her tights, and forced his penis inside her. Carroll then stayed silent for decades — at least publicly.
Unknown to the public at the time, Carroll told two of her friends: author Lisa Birnbach and local TV anchor Carol Martin, Crowley said.
One of the anticipated witnesses, Martin is expected to testify that she warned against stepping forward against Trump, who was then a real estate tycoon.
Once Carroll joined their ranks among Trump’s accusers, Trump vehemently denied the allegations and went on a counterattack.
From Trump’s White House perch, Crowley said: “He went on the attack, seeking to destroy and humiliate her.”
In the remark that sparked a defamation lawsuit, Trump said of Carroll: “She’s not my type.”
“‘Not my type.’ We all know what that means: He was saying she was too ugly to assault,” Crowley noted.
