Former United States president, Donald Trump, has been found liable by a federal jury in Manhattan for sexual abuse and defamation in the case brought by writer E. Jean Carroll.
The case, which alleged that Trump raped Carroll in a department store dressing room in the mid-1990s, has been closely followed by the public and media alike.
The jury, comprised of six men and three women, awarded $2 million to Carroll for battery and $3 million for defamation. However, they did not find Trump liable for rape. Trump had consistently dismissed Carroll's claims and referred to the allegations as "a complete con job".
