The jury, who reached a decision on Tuesday in a civil trial, said Trump was not guilty of rape, but was liable for sexual abuse and defamation.
Former US President, Donald Trump, was found guilty of sexually abusing an advice columnist, Jean Carroll, by a federal jury in New York, USA.
Carroll claimed Trump raped her in Manhattan in 1996.
The jury, who reached a decision on Tuesday in a civil trial, said Trump was not guilty of rape, but was liable for sexual abuse and defamation.
Carroll was awarded at least $2 million by the jury, which consisted of six men and three women.

Trump did not testify during the trial, but he was deposed on camera in October.
However, Joe Tacopina, Trump’s lawyer, told the jury in closing arguments on Monday that Carroll’s story is too far-fetched to be believed.
He claimed she made it up to boost sales of her 2019 memoir and to disparage Trump for political reasons.
