Trump was held civilly liable in two trials for defaming E. Jean Carroll when he denied her claim he sexually abused her in a New York department store.
Excerpt

“A jury unanimously concluded that he sexually abused and defamed plaintiff and awarded her damages accordingly,” Kaplan wrote. “The judgment on that verdict has been upheld on appeal. En banc rehearing has been denied. The Supreme Court has denied certiorari without dissent.”

“It is time for him to ‘do equity’ and pay the judgment,” the judge wrote.
