An writer who accused Donald Trump of raping her within the ’90s plans to sue the previous president for battery under a recent Recent York state law.
Attorneys for E. Jean Carroll, an Elle magazine former advice columnist, said Thursday she is going to file suit in Manhattan federal court, Bloomberg reported.
Carroll accused Trump of raping her in a changing room at Bergdorf Goodman in 1995. She went public with the experience after he was elected president.
The Adult Survivors Act, passed by Albany earlier this yr, placed a brief suspension of the statute of limitations on sex crimes. This allowed Carroll and other victims a one-year window to file civil lawsuits against their attackers.
The journalist will file her battery lawsuit on Nov. 24, the day the brand new law takes effect, her lawyers said within the court filing.
Carroll has outlined her allegations against the ex-president in court documents and published a book in 2019.
The magazine author, who was 52 years old on the time, said Trump pushed her into the wall of adjusting room stall and pulled down her tights. He allegedly “pushed his fingers around Carroll’s genitals and compelled his penis inside her” as she tried to push him away, based on court documents.
Carroll jammed her high heel into his foot and used her knee to push him off of her and sprinted out of the shop, the filing alleged.
Trump has vehemently denied the claims.
She also plans to sue Trump for defamation — for a second time — after he called her a liar and said her allegations and legal motion were “a whole con job” in a lengthy social media post last month.
She previously sued the then-president for defamation in 2019 after he made similar remarks which she said hurt her popularity. Nonetheless, Trump and the Justice Department argued that he made the comments against her in his official capability as president and due to this fact her suit would need to be dismissed for legal reasons.
Thursday’s filing got here just two days after Trump announced one other run for the presidency, adding one other investigation into the ex-president’s past actions.
