Jury ruled that Donald Trump sexually abused Jean Carroll
Donald Trump sexually abused and defamed writer E Jean Carroll, a New York jury finds in a civil case.
But the former president was cleared of rape over the alleged assault in a department store in the 1990s
The jury awarded the writer almost $5m in damages for the battery and defamation charges
Trump did not testify, but the jury – made up of six men and three women – was shown a video deposition where he denied the rape
The claim was brought to trial after New York passed a law that allowed survivors to sue years after their alleged sexual assault
The burden of proof in a civil case is lower than in a criminal trial – a preponderance of the evidence rather than beyond a reasonable doubt.
