Tom has nothing to do with it…

UC Davis School of Law professor Katherine Florey and Notre Dame Law School professor Jay Tidmarsh disagree with Kaplan’s feefees…

Under the law, this covered sexual offenses, as defined in Article 130 of the New York Penal Code, including rape. However, as Tidmarsh told Newsweek, the civil claim was for battery, not rape or sexual abuse.

 "Among the [Article] 130 claims are rape, sexual abuse and forcible touching," he said. "Therefore, in order for Ms. Carroll to prevail on the statute of limitations, she needed to prove [by a preponderance of the evidence] that she was the victim of rape or sexual abuse or forcible touching.

 "Any one of the three would have sufficed. The jury found two of the three applied, but not rape."

 While Trump was not found liable for rape, Tidmarsh said he attached "limited significance to the jury's decision not to find that rape occurred."

"The civil claim is for battery, not rape," he added. "The jury found that Donald Trump battered E. Jean Carroll. And Ms. Carroll was able to fit within the new statute of limitation even without proving rape."

 So, we can establish that Trump was not found "guilty" of rape as he was not criminally charged, nor was he found liable for rape. Further, the civil claim was on a battery tort but brought forward using an extension of the statute of limitations for crimes including rape.

**** YOU, **** YOUR FEEFEES AND ****…
