Trump's lawsuit for defamation against Carroll will be quickly thrown out since clearly she can legally say Trump raped her.
Feel free to call Trump a rapist. The court says he is one.
As is shown in the following notes, the definition of rape in the New York Penal Law
is far narrower than the meaning of “rape” in common modern parlance, its definition in some
dictionaries,2 in some federal and state criminal statutes,3 and elsewhere.4 The finding that Ms
Carroll failed to prove that she was “raped” within the meaning of the New York Penal Law does
not mean that she failed to prove that Mr. Trump “raped” her as many people commonly understand
the word “rape.” Indeed, as the evidence at trial recounted below makes clear, the jury found that
Mr. Trump in fact did exactly that.
