三年前陪审团裁定特朗普总统应向作家E.让·卡罗尔支付500万美元赔偿金，以赔偿其性侵犯及诽谤行为，如今卡罗尔终于拿到了这笔款项。
对卡罗尔而言，这场等待早在2023年她的联邦民事诉讼开庭前就已开始。这位作家于2019年首次公开爆料，指控特朗普在30年前于一家百货商场的试衣间内侵犯了她。陪审团一致认定，现有证据的优势足以支持她的主张。
法庭记录显示，卡罗尔总共获得562万美元，其中包含利息。卡罗尔的律师罗伯塔·卡普兰在发给哥伦比亚广播公司新闻的声明中，对这位作家的胜诉表示祝贺。
“三年前，由九人组成的全票陪审团认定特朗普总统对E.让·卡罗尔实施了性侵犯并进行诽谤，”卡普兰说道。“今天，我们很高兴地宣布，她已收到陪审团根据该裁决判给她的损害赔偿金。”
这笔资金此前一直存放在法院管控的银行账户中，但最高法院在6月29日裁定拒绝受理特朗普的上诉后，为卡罗尔收款扫清了障碍。
当天，卡罗尔在其Substack博客上发布简短消息庆祝胜诉，她用全部大写字母写道：“我们赢了！”
“这场胜利属于世界上每一位女性！”卡罗尔写道。
在那之后的几天里，她的律师与特朗普的律师展开了激烈的针锋相对：卡罗尔一方试图加快资金发放，而特朗普一方则试图无限期拖延付款。特朗普请求最高法院重新考虑其驳回上诉的裁定。卡罗尔的律师罗伯塔·卡普兰将这一行为称为“玩弄手段”，同时请求主审法官尽快从法院管控的银行账户中发放资金。
联邦陪审团一致认定，更有可能的情况是，特朗普在纽约市波道夫·古德曼百货商场偶遇卡罗尔后，用手指强行插入其体内。卡罗尔声称，当时本是一次愉快的逛街——她正帮特朗普为另一位女性挑选礼物——却在更衣室里演变成了暴力事件。
特朗普并未出席2023年的民事审判，其律师也未传唤任何证人，随后陪审团判给卡罗尔500万美元赔偿金。由六名男性和三名女性组成的陪审团仅审议了不到三个小时便作出裁决。
卡罗尔的诉讼提出了性侵犯、诽谤以及根据纽约州刑法定义的强奸三项指控。陪审团认定特朗普对性侵犯和诽谤负有责任，但驳回了强奸指控。该州法律要求证明攻击者的生殖器实施了强行插入行为。
主审法官后来在裁决中写道，纽约州的法律与联邦标准以及对强奸的“现代”认知脱节。在审判后的裁定中，他表示卡罗尔关于特朗普强奸她的主张“基本属实”。
卡罗尔的律师团队辩称，她的指控符合特朗普的行为模式，即“作案手法”。另外两位作为证人出庭的女性描述了特朗普如何将随意的对峙突然演变成所谓的性不当行为。陪审员还观看了一段“访问好莱坞”的视频片段，这段视频在特朗普2016年总统竞选期间首次引发广泛关注，视频中可以听到特朗普描述自己抓女性生殖器的内容。
现年82岁的卡罗尔认为，陪审团的裁决为她为追究特朗普所谓侵犯行为责任而展开的长期斗争画上了一个句号，但她仍在等待另一桩审判的结果。
特朗普始终否认卡罗尔的指控，同时也在对另一项联邦陪审团的裁决提起上诉。该陪审团于2024年1月裁定特朗普因发表针对卡罗尔的进一步诽谤言论而负有责任，判给她额外8300万美元赔偿金。
特朗普的律师团队表示，他们也将把这起案件提交至最高法院。
E. Jean Carroll receives $5.62 million sex abuse, defamation payment from Trump after yearslong wait

Three years after a jury concluded President Trump should pay $5 million in damages to the writer E. Jean Carroll for sexual abuse and defamation, she has at last been paid.
For Carroll, it’s a wait that began long before her federal civil lawsuit went to trial in 2023. The writer first went public with her story in 2019, accusing Mr. Trump of assaulting her in a department store dressing room three decades ago. The jury unanimously concluded a preponderance of evidence supported her claim.
Court records show Carroll received $5.62 million, including interest. Carroll’s attorney, Roberta Kaplan, hailed the writer’s victory in a statement to CBS News.
“Three years ago, a unanimous nine-person jury found President Trump liable for sexually assaulting and defaming E. Jean Carroll,” Kaplan said. “Today, we are pleased to report that she has received the damages payment the jury awarded her as a result of that verdict.”
The money had been held in a court-controlled bank account, but the Supreme Court cleared the way for Carroll to be paid when it decided on June 29 against hearing Mr. Trump’s appeal.
That day, Carroll celebrated her win in a brief note on her Substack blog, writing in all capital letters, “WE WON!”
“THIS WIN IS FOR EVERY WOMAN IN THE WORLD!” Carroll wrote.
In the days since, her lawyer and Mr. Trump’s have engaged in a bitter tit-for-tat as she sought to speed up disbursement of the funds, and he sought to indefinitely delay payment. Mr. Trump asked the Supreme Court to reconsider its rejection of his appeal. Carroll’s attorney Roberta Kaplan called the move, “gamesmanship,” while asking the trial judge to hurry release of the funds from a court-controlled bank account.
The unanimous federal jury found that, more likely than not, Mr. Trump forcibly inserted his fingers into Carroll after a chance meeting while shopping at a New York City Bergdorf Goodman. What started as a pleasant walk through the store — Carroll helping Mr. Trump choose a present for another woman — turned violent in a changing room, she alleged.
Mr. Trump did not attend the 2023 civil trial, and his attorneys called no witnesses before the jury awarded Carroll $5 million. The six men and three women of the jury deliberated for under three hours.
Carroll’s lawsuit made claims of sexual abuse, defamation and rape, as defined by New York’s penal code. The jury found Mr. Trump liable for sexual abuse and defamation, but rejected the rape claim. The state’s statute requires proof of forceful penetration involving the attacker’s genitals.
The judge later wrote that New York’s law is out of touch with federal standards and a “modern” understanding of rape. In post-trial rulings he wrote that Carroll’s assertion that Trump raped her was “substantially true.”
Carroll’s attorneys argued that her allegations fit a pattern, or “modus operandi,” for Mr. Trump. Two other women called as witnesses described Mr. Trump suddenly turning casual confrontations into acts of alleged sexual misconduct. The jurors were also shown an “Access Hollywood” video clip, first made famous during Mr. Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign, in which Trump could be heard describing himself grabbing women’s genitals.
For Carroll, age 82, the jury’s award closes one chapter of a long campaign she has waged to hold Mr. Trump accountable for the alleged abuse, while she awaits closure from another trial.
Mr. Trump has consistently denied Carroll’s allegations and has also appealed a separate federal jury’s January 2024 verdict finding him liable for making further defamatory statements against Carroll. That jury awarded her another $83 million.
Lawyers for Mr. Trump have indicated they will also bring that case to the Supreme Court.
