A writer who accused former President Trump of rape filed an upgraded lawsuit against him in New York, minutes after a new state law took effect allowing victims of sexual violence to sue over attacks that occurred decades ago.

E. Jean Carroll poses for a photo, Sunday, June 23, 2019, in New York.

Trump responded to the book’s allegations by saying it could never have happened because Carroll was “not my type.”His remarks led Carroll to file a defamation lawsuit against him, but that lawsuit has been tied up in appeals courts as judges decide whether he is protected from legal claims for comments made while he was president.

At least hundreds of lawsuits are expected, including many filed by women who say they were assaulted by co-workers, prison guards, medical providers or others. Carroll’s new ability to sue Trump for rape could help her sidestep a potentially fatal legal flaw in her original defamation case. Carroll’s attorney, Roberta Kaplan, who is not related to the judge, said at a court hearing this week that the new claims should not require much additional gathering of evidence. She already put a copy of the new claims in the original case file last week. Trump and Carroll also have already been deposed.

Believe all women, unless they are Tara Reid, Paula Jones, or any other accuser of a Democrat, Republicans for that matter too, only Trump. He'll, throw in Hollywood and all of Epstein's clients as well.

Didn't she say 'rape is sexy'?

The'rape is sexy' lady is back. Her 15 minutes of fame didn't last long enough.

Trump is the most investigated person in modern history, and yet the investigators can’t seem to find crimes that put him behind bars… why is that?

Once again, I can't stand Trump but these 30 year-old allegations are very difficult to prove & with this lady, it seems more about vengeance & publicity then justice.

America

They will be coming out of their dark closets to take this evil predator DOWN.
