I understand that the evidence was pretty overwhelming, including vaginal tears and the woman being rushed to emergency.


Ms Hand, a mother-of-one, told the court how McGregor had pinned her to a bed before assaulting her.
She was left with extensive bruises and abrasions over her body, including on her hands and wrists.
There was a bloodied scratch on her breast and tenderness on her neck after she said she was placed in a "chokehold" by McGregor.
He denied causing the bruising, saying it could have happened after she "swan dived" into the bath in the hotel room.
Ms Hand was taken in an ambulance to the Rotunda Hospital in Dublin the next day where she was assessed in the sexual assault treatment unit.
A paramedic who examined Ms Hand told the court that she had not seen "someone so bruised" in a long time.
The jury had been told how Ms Hand had to leave her job as a hairdresser and has not been able to work since due to her mental health, that her relationship with her partner ended months after the incident, that she had to move out of her home in Drimnagh and that her mortgage was now in arrears.
She also said she had to stop seeing a counsellor because she could no longer afford to pay for the sessions.
The court heard that she had spent more than €4,000 (£3,326) on GP, pharmacy and psychotherapy costs.

Let me guess, you parked this in the political forum because you plan on blaming Trump for this as well?

No Trump is guilty of raping someone else.
Not this woman.

 

[Shaquille Oatmeal]

slander and defamation of character can lead to a hefty lawsuit

Trump was found liable for sexual abuse aka rape and defamation.
Can one be liable for something that they did not do?

 

[Shaquille Oatmeal]

You've decided he has been convicted of rape when he was convicted of sexual assault(rough sex). I

Non consensual rough sex or gentle sex is sexual assault. Aka rape.
Trump is a rapist.

 

[Shaquille Oatmeal]

But sexual assault(rough sex) is not the same thing. How can you be too obtuse to recognize that? Sexual assault is entirely different from rape and is not aka any more than car aka motorcycle. The point is you're mad. You're very mad. And it's not going away. So to make yourself feel a little better inside you decide to label a man convicted of sexual assault a rapist despite know that you're reaching in a large way. NGL I absolutely love your anger. I love knowing that it's festering inside of you with no relief in sight. I love how much his presidency hurts your heart. And lastly I love knowing how long this hurt is going to last.

Sexual assault, misconduct, abuse all mean rape.
Trump's exact act was to non-consensually digitally penetrate a woman.
That is rape.
Oh and this is about the closest you are ever going to come to experiencing a Trump presidency while being stuck in leftist Canada.
Even if Pierre wins.
Love how that triggers you.
Now stop hijacking this thread.

Sexual assault(rough sex) and rape are two entirely different things. You've decided he has been convicted of rape when he was convicted of sexual assault(rough sex). It's bewildering that you are mentally incapable of differentiating between the two. Are a car and a motorcycle the same thing shaq?

If you find yourself wordsmithing the definition of rape in an effort to defend yourself it’s a pretty strong sign that you’ve lost the argument.

Anyway…why does it matter? Trump is a known sexual predator and America is fine with it. No point in arguing over things no one cares about.

Criminal Charges are legal actions by the government against a person when sufficient evidence exists to believe that the persons actions violated a criminal law. Criminal convictions may result in the imposition of fines and/or imprisonment.

Civil Lawsuits are actions by a private party against another private party under a civil cause of action that alleges one party wronged the other. In order to sustain a civil action, there must be a recognized cause of action under statutory or common law that entitles a plaintiff party to recover from a defendant party upon meeting their burden of proof.

The burden of proof for a criminal conviction is substantially higher than the burden of proof required to win a civil suit. As such, when a government lacks sufficient facts to charge someone criminally, a civil plaintiff may still sue and recover based on the lower burden of proof. Also worth noting is that the remedies are not mutually exclusive (at least in the US), so there may often be both criminal and civil trials based on the same facts (e.g., OJ Simpson)

It’s in the political forum as further proof that MMA fighters and their fans are a bunch of Far Right degenerates.

The people who are supposedly so concerned about grooming and pedophilia always turn out to be the biggest sexual offenders.

Just like Andrew Tate. Just like Matt Gaetz. And…come to think of it…just like Donald Trump.

 

[The Oracle]

Being handsy and pushing sexual boundaries does not qualify as a sexual predator. Paul Bernardo is a sexual predator. There is a big difference. But, sour pussed lefties have nothing else to use to console themselves with so I understand them embellishing.

I don't really take any European court seriously unless they give me a reason to.

For example Johnny Depp was found guilty in the UK, and the exact same trial was an obvious slam dunk in the US when he completely buried Amber Turd. ''

Did Trump actually perform the act of rape?
Did the jury in the civil case find Trump liable of rape?
The answer to both questions is yes.

 

[Shaquille Oatmeal]

So essentially what you're saying is rape encompasses any sexual violation?

if you non-consensually digitally penetrate a woman like Trump did. It is rape.

 

[Shaquille Oatmeal]

Being handsy and pushing sexual boundaries does not qualify as a sexual predator. Paul Bernardo is a sexual predator.

Paul Bernado is a serial killer.
The bar for rape is much lower.

 

[Shaquille Oatmeal]

By your definition he did! But the rest of us know better, including the American voters who all chose him as their President. Doesn't that just make you sooo mad?

No.
He is not my presdient.
Or yours.

Without looking it up, tell me who arranged and paid for Carroll's lawyer in this case?

Like Amada Nunes?

I dont know.
But I was also thinking about the following:
- The statute of limitations had expired in Trump's case.
- The only reason he even got sued was because of the passage of the ASA that only allowed civill suits.
So maybe the proof presented was of high calibre and was only limited to civil suits because the law said so.
But let us say the proof was of low calibre, then what?
Then it is still an issue that there exists any proof at all in the first place that Trump raped this woman!
So either way, it is bad for Trump.

 

[Vinson]

Why wasn't he charged criminally?

Why wasn't he charged criminally?

The statute of limitations had expired.
