He's not a convicted rapist. It was a civil case, which is about liability, not guilt. There's no such thing as conviction or acquittal.
He's a man a jury found to be liable for sexual assault, and that's how we should describe him.
It's important that we be correct, because the other side jumps on any tiny thing that's slightly wrong to justify their outrageous lies. Don't give ammunition to the "both sides" assholes.
You can't help but give ammunition to "both sides assholes", because it's bOtH sIdEs!
Also, we're the majority now (40% of voters are independents). Because your party sucks
You should support whomever demands the truth; they're not the assholes. the truth hurts, take your medicine
I don't know why you're attacking that dude. He's right. Trump wasn't technically "convicted" of rape like he was convicted of 34 felonies for fraud. He was found liable for defamation for lying about his sexual assault (colloquially accepted as rape) of E Jean Carroll. A jury found it more likely than not that he raped Carroll and lied about it. That a jury said, "yeah he probably raped her" is damning enough.
I’ve seen the term “ajudicated rapist” used a bunch. Basically the judge did assert that Trump did sexually assault Carol but since it wasn’t a criminal trial, he was ajudicated, not convicted. If I recall correctly, NY pretty much only considered an incident to be rape if it penetrative and using a penis, so that’s why it’s SA rather than rape. I think their laws are different now so it would be considered rape today.
