A conviction leads to sentencing (normally) in a criminal matter. A cival court is settling a cival matter, not a criminal one. Criminal courts convict you of a crime and sentence you to some kind of punishment. Cival courts can make you pay a fine, but not convict you of a crime.
Nope, just of sexual abuse. Which is, like…. Come on New York what’s the fucking difference here? Especially when you hear the story of what happened. I don’t understand how they talked the court down from rape to sexual abuse.
He’s unquestionably a rapist, but he is not a convicted rapist.
Semantics. Some might classify the secual assault he preformed as rape.
No, it’s because the finding was made in civil court, not criminal court, therefore not convicted.
Huh? You can be convicted in civil court…

Again, another argument of semantics.
Would change nothing for me, maybe for yourself, to say Donald Trump was found liable of sexual assault by a judge and jury in the court of law.
Edit:
You keep obfuscating, though.
Sure, he’s a rapist. But not a convicted rapist. That’s all that’s being said
Yet.

My understanding is that she wasn’t able to say with 100% certainty that he put his penis inside her; that it could have been his finger.
Which I’m sure is something his lawyers push but is still a pretty sick burn to have on-record, and actually lines up with what his other victims say.
