Former US President Donald Trump filed a notice of appeal in response to a New York jury’s finding that he was responsible for sexually assaulting and defaming author E. Jean Carroll.
The former Elle magazine journalist sued Trump for defamation and violence last year. After the New York State Adult Survivors Act went into force, victims of sexual assault had a year to file a lawsuit against the accused abusers, even if the incidents may have occurred decades earlier.
The action was dubbed a “scam” and Carroll a “nut job” by Trump, who angrily denied the accusations.
Following the weeks-long trial, A nine-person jury reached a decision on Tuesday finding Trump liable of sexual assault but not rape. He was also found liable for defamation after calling her claims a “hoax”.
