Pussy Galore
In 2021, the Adult Survivors Act (ASA) was enacted in New York State. It extended the Statute of limitations for survivors of sexual offenses and abuse to 20 years and lowered the burden of proof to a civil standard, making it easier for survivors to seek justice. What can go wrong?
The ASA was then amended in May 2022 to allow all alleged past victims to file civil suits retrospectively, during a window of opportunity stipulated to be between November 24, 2022, and November 24, 2023. This retrospective exemption has been dubbed the “Donald J. Trump exemption” due to the involvement of Trump antagonists in promoting the ASA legislation and funding its implementation.
Without retrospectivity, enabling a ‘one-off’ exception to the Statute of Limitations, Trump could not have been sued and harrassed by the likes of Elizabeth Jean Carroll. Carroll is the prime plaintiff in the suit against Donald J. Trump and supported financially by antagonist billionaire Reid Hoffman.
Carroll is being used as the nail, but Democrat Party protagonists are the hammer. Carroll, filed a civil rape charge against Donald Trump alleging that the incident took place 28 years ago, the exact year is unknown to her, in a clothing boutique where she worked. Carroll never complained or took any action or discussed the allegations with her family and friends. And, there is no corroborating evidence whatsoever.
Trump denies the allegation and claims that he has never met Carroll. He maintains that he cannot get a fair trial in New York City and that the allegation is a scam to hinder his 2024 aspirations. None of Trump’s pleadings has had any positive return from the NYC court. The matter went to trial.
The trial judge, Justice Kaplan a committed Democrat, was manifestly biased against Trump and inter alia allowed the old Planet Hollywood tape into evidence. He also refused to allow evidence that Trump’s protagonist Reid Garrett Hoffman was funding the false allegations. The result was that Trump, in a pre-trial deposition was obliged to confirm the inappropriate comments. He confirmed he made the statement about “the ease of grabbing stars by the pussy” in private, as part of a men’s locker room prattle which was illegally recorded for reasons of malice, decades ago.
The jury nevertheless still cleared Trump of the civil rape allegation. Their verdict axiomatically rejects Corroll’s version of the events and consensuality is implied. The jury then illogically and counter-intuitively awarded Carroll $5 million in damages, despite no crime or wrong-doing being found. This was a real Democrat Party Kangaroo civil court mess. Trump is obviously Appealing.
Trump, in his explosive recent interview on CNN, made the point that it is impossible for him and like minded people to get a fair trial in New York City or Washington DC. This unquestionably true and a sad indictment on the US justice system.
Carroll is now in trouble, because she lied under oath. When asked who was funding her litigation costs she said “nobody”. In fact, Linkedin Billionaire, and Trump protagonist, Reid Garrett Hoffman is the financial backer.
The case highlights the difficulties of proving sexual assault allegations, particularly in retrospective cases where there is no corroborating evidence. It also raises questions about the fairness of civil suits in cases where no criminal conviction has been obtained. Despite these concerns, some people claim that the ASA represents a step forward for survivors of sexual abuse seeking justice and accountability.
I disagree with retrospective legislation but concede that there will always be justified rare exceptions. One should keep creepy billionaires like the late Jeffrey Epstein and Harvey Weinstein of Miramax, in mind. Their victims were very young, vulnerable and very real.
