NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Elle Magazine advice columnist E Jean Carroll is going to press for a battery lawsuit against former president Donald Trump. Carroll alleges that Trump raped her in the 1990s in Bergdorf Goodman. As per the recent reports, she will also be making use of a new New York law, the ‘New Work Adult Survivors Act’, which allows adult victims of sexual assault a one-time window to file civil lawsuits. This option is applicable even after expired statutes of limitation.

Carroll had already dragged Trump to court when she earlier sued him for defamation for claiming she was lying about the alleged attack against her and will be suing again after Trump made a second public denial of the accusation. It was in her 2019 book, that the author detailed in New York Magazine the attack she suffered at the hands of Trump in a dressing room of the luxury department store Bergdorf Goodman.
