性侵罪名成立！特朗普：我完全不认识这个女人（朗读版）|E0512

▍原文

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, awarding her $5 million in damages.

The former U.S. president, campaigning to retake the White House in 2024, will appeal, said his spokesperson. Trump will not have to pay the damages so long as the case is on appeal.
