@publicnewsfeed@mastodon.social this has to be one of the dumbest things I've ever seen. So anyone can claim that you molested them 40 years ago and because you have money, you have to write your acuser a check with no evidence that they were even in the same place at the same time?

@publicnewsfeed@mastodon.social US President the bully has paid writer E Jean Carroll more than $5m (£3.7m) in damages three years after he was found liable for sexually abusing and defaming her in a civil case, her lawyers confirmed. "Today, we are pleased to report that she has received the damages payment the jury awarded her as a result of that verdict," Roberta Kaplan, a lawyer for Carroll, said in a short statement on Tuesday. T**** was pushing to delay the payment, in order to ask the Supreme Court to reconsider its decision not to hear his appeal of the case. But last week, the judge overseeing the case ordered him to pay the damages. A representative from the loser's legal team declined to comment on the payment. A statement from Carroll's legal team confirmed that she had been paid more than $5.62m - the $5m awarded in damages plus the interest accrued during the appeal. Carroll, a former magazine columnist who is now 82, accused Dozy Don of attacking her in the mid-1990s in a Bergdorf Goodman department store dressing room in Manhattan, and later defaming her on his Lies Social website in a 2022 post denying her allegations. Carroll cheered the ruling at the time, writing on her Substack blog: "WE WON!" "THIS WIN IS FOR EVERY WOMAN IN THE WORLD!" Carroll wrote.
