“The writer E. Jean Carroll sued Donald Trump for allegedly raping her in the 1990s just after midnight Thursday as a New York law took effect opening a window for sex assault victims to sue their alleged assailants,” the New York Daily News reports.
“Carroll’s battery and defamation lawsuit filed in federal court in Manhattan accuses Trump of pinning her against a wall and then raping her inside a dressing room at Bergdorf Goodman’s on Fifth Ave. near E. 58th St. between the fall of 1995 and spring of 1996.”
“The lawsuit was among the first filed under the Adult Survivors Act, which went into effect at 12 a.m. on Thanksgiving.”
