Trump pays writer E Jean Carroll more than $5m in damages.

[Justin Passing]

Not another defender of the indefensible.

No I'm not. The man's hideous, but that's no excuse to get the offence wrong. That's the sort of thing HE would do.

In the UK also, it's a different offence if fingers do the penetrating. Same max sentence though.

Tis Amerrica, tens of millions for a scalding McCafe, remember she was suing for damage to her reputation by someone who hits headlines for farting.

familiarise yourself with the Liebeck v. McDonald's. case nothing dodgy about her claim.

 

[motorbiking]

If that gives you comfort, you cling to it.


Yep. And every court in the land, including the Supreme Court agree with the courts' decision.

Trump is officially a rapist and Jean is $5m richer.

Sweet.

Every court? apart from a criminal court, which is the one that matters.

you're going to make an attempt to define how a woman feels about sexual assault?

Good luck with that.

If someone had raped you in the 90s, why report it 20 years later? That's the bit I don't understand. Surely you would report it immediately.

You obviously don't understand the shame of rape and the effect it can have...

Especially if the perp is a rich or powerful person...

And the system in the past didn't exactly treat victims with respect!

So often a victim stays silent until for example another person claims a similar offence by the same person, and the earlier victim then feels they would be more likely to be believed...

Why do you think so many came out against saville after so long?

Do you not understand that or believe his victims either?

 

[warey4life]

...and a rapist.

Probably a nonce too. And a liar. A cheat. A fraudster. Misogynist. Racist. Murderer of (school) children. Adulterer. Convicted felon.

I reckon it'll be a case like Savile, when after his death all his depravity comes to light.

I wonder if trump was brown, would nosey and crew be all bent out of shape ?

I don’t think they’d even mention it. Funny that

It’s true and the more objective posters know it.

Let’s not waste each others time.

You and your chums have me down as a far right loon, crack on and think that. You know what I think of you.

The more objective posters see the attempt to deflect away from the crimes of the orange rapist by way of racist comments for what they are

Ok

Aye - from the get-go you made that clear - trolling me with all kindsa crap.
It was fun at first ...


...but then you lost your sense of humour and it's all been one personal attack after another at me.

 

[Highway Man]

Yawn, you used to be a decent poster, or a semi good troll

Since @Highway Man joined your game has slipped.

Very true, I tend to have a calming effect on people, it's just another one of my traits that shines through. The one thing nobody on here could ever say about me is that I engage in smut talk,, I do not belittle women or talk dirty. I never have throughout my life, nor do I do it on here. I find it disgusting to speak this way. I was merely stating facts that Trump has NOT been CONVICTED of rape. None of that sentence suggests that I agree with him or think rape is ok. As it happens and what nobody has picked up on, I do not actually like Trump anymore, I think the man is a complete buffoon. My personal opinion doesn't change these facts about him whether he may or may not have raped anyone. I would never accuse anyone of this act and say that he has because let us be perfectly fair IF he hasn't can you imagine how awful that title would be if you were innocent.

familiarise yourself with the Liebeck v. McDonald's. case nothing dodgy about her claim.

It’s the finding that determines the damages not the claim. In the McCoffee case the original damages were massively reduced, Carrol’s weren’t afaik
