Writer E. Jean Carroll files upgraded lawsuit alleging Trump 'forcibly raped and groped her' in the 1990s.
Previously, Carroll had been barred by state law from suing over the alleged rape because too many years had passed since the incident.New York's new law, however, gives sex crime victims who missed deadlines associated with statute of limitations a second chance to file a lawsuit. A window for such suits will open for one year, after which the usual time limits will be reinstated.
No such protection would cover things he did prior to becoming president.Judge Lewis A. Kaplan, who presides over the defamation lawsuit Carroll filed three years ago, may decide to include the new claims in a trial likely to occur in the spring.Trump's current lawyers said this week that they do not yet know whether they will represent him against the new allegations.
