NEW YORK, May 9 (Reuters) - Donald Trump sexually abused magazine writer E. Jean Carroll in the 1990s and then defamed her by branding her a liar, jurors decided on Tuesday, dealing the former U.S. president a legal setback as he campaigns to retake office in 2024.

The nine-member jury in Manhattan federal court rejected Trump's denial that he assaulted Carroll and ruled in her favor. To find him liable, the jury of six men and three women was required to reach a unanimous verdict...

Because this was a civil case, Trump faces no criminal consequences. Carroll was seeking unspecified monetary damages.

"Carroll had proven Mr. Trump sexually abused her, but they rejected the accusation that she had been raped."

So stupid.

I think thats some pretty poor language. 'Failed to prove' not 'rejected'
