The writer suing Donald Trump over an alleged rape nearly 30 years ago has told a court his denials “decimated” her reputation. “I’m here because Donald Trump raped me, and when I wrote about it, he lied and said it didn’t happen,” E. Jean Carroll said

The writer who is suingover an alleged rape nearly 30 years ago has told a courtroom that his denials “decimated” her reputation.

As well as bringing a defamation claim, she is suing under New York’s Adult Survivors Act, which lets adults sue their alleged abusers long after statutes of limitations have run out. Mr Trump emphatically denies wrongdoing. After joking with her about trying on the lingerie, she alleges he then ushered her to an open dressing room, shut the door, shoved her against a wall, and pulled down her tights as she resisted.

Ms Carroll said she blamed herself at the time, and feared she would lose her job and Mr Trump would retaliate if she reported him. Mr Trump was not present as Ms Carroll spoke in court on Wednesday and is not expected to attend as the trial continues.
