Inability to sue until the statute of limitations
changed is one good reason for some of the dalay.
Did Trump do it? I don't know.
But he certainly seems capable of assault.

She had many years after it happened to blow the whistle before the statute of limitations was surpassed.
I don't know her reasons.
They might or might not be cromulent.
We can only hope that the trial achieves justice.
Yes of course. If he is found guilty in a civil court he would be just as guilty if it had been a criminal court.
What i don't understand is why you tried to differentiate.

Carroll testified that it happened in a department store dressing room in 1996.
The statute of limitations was amended in 2019 from 7 years to 20 years.
2019-20 years=1999
2019 was 3 years past the 20 years statute of limitations
New York City's Victims of Gender-Motivated Violence Protection Act permits alleged victims to bring claims within seven years of the alleged physical violation, and CPLR 213-c, which was amended in September 2019, also is used to bring civil claims of sexual assault under a 20-year statute of limitations.
The ASA is, however, the only law that not only is retroactive, but also permits a lifetime lookback window, making it a true one-of-its-kind #MeToo law. The ASA is one of many legislative changes since the height of the #MeToo movement.
New York Eliminates Time Limitations for Sexual Assault Claims
New York State’s Adult Survivors Act (ASA) amends the state’s statute of limitations for civil claims alleging certain sexual offenses—which may include any unwanted sexual contact in the workplace—committed against adults.
I don't understand why its 20 years if it has a lifetime look back window(see bold)

Ah, yes, Donald Trump -- as pure as the new-fallen snow. As chaste as is the bud ere it be blown. Soul washed clean through daily prayer.
You're really too, too funny!

That's true. However a civil case is easier to win than a criminal case.
I've read, for example, where a person was found not guilty of manslaughter by a jury but lost the civil suit when the family sued them.

"due to witnesses that confirm Carroll said he raped her soon after, and explained why she didn't report it to the police."
What was the reason it was never reported before?

I tend to agree with you, and remember that around 25 women claimed that Trump sexually assaulted them, and Trump threatened to sue them. This is a pattern that he has used in other cases whereas he would buy time and run them out of money.

Informative frube.
Too powerful in 1996 but not to powerful in 2019 as president? I don't buy it.
In 2019 he had more wealth and was the president so to me that makes him more powerful!

Intimidation, and the reality that it's probably impossible for her to prove it. She did say that she wanted to be heard, and I can understand that. However, I am certainly not assuming that he did rape her, but he does have a history of sexual assault as he even stated in the Access Hollywood recording while excusing it later as "locker room talk". I'm an old "gym rate" and if I heard some say what he did, I would have to conclude they're "morals challenged".

Trump In 1996 had a net worth of $0.45 billion and climbed up to $1.4 billion in 1997.
Donald Trump's net worth takes a dive
The decline in his wealth largely comes from the value of his social media company, which suffered a $550 million decrease over the last six months.
In 2019 he had a net worth of $3-$4 billion and was president.
How is that not more intimidating?

But other things have also changed, notably the Me Too movement, which has given a lot of people the courage to come forward, feeling at last they are in good company and have a chance of a sympathetic hearing.Trump In 1996 had a net worth of $0.45 billion and climbed up to $1.4 billion in 1997.

As far as your question is concerned, I really don't get what you're driving at, so can you clarify? I'll be back on-line tomorrow, btw.

Yes I guessed they had crossed.
People grow and change. Something that intimidated Carroll in 1996 might not phase her in 2023.Trump In 1996 had a net worth of $0.45 billion and climbed up to $1.4 billion in 1997.

We are different people all through our lives. I know there were things that scared me when I was younger that I laugh at now, and things I would have bravely done then I would not dream of doing now.

I agree, as I teen and young adult I struggled with having an inferiority complex but lost that decades ago. Now no one can shut me up.
