Trump to Challenge NY Sex-Abuse Law as Unconstitutional

(Bloomberg) -- Former President Donald Trump is planning to argue that a New York law temporarily allowing people to sue over alleged sexual abuse that may have occurred decades earlier is unconstitutional.

A lawyer for Trump said Wednesday during a federal court hearing in Manhattan that the argument would be included in a motion to dismiss a Nov. 24 lawsuit by New York author E. Jean Carroll. She sued him for battery under the state’s new Adult Survivors Act, which lifts for one year the statute of limitations on sexual-assault claims that would otherwise be barred as too old.

Carroll claims Trump raped her in a Manhattan department store dressing room in the 1990s. He has denied her allegations.

Trump’s would be among the first constitutional challenges to the new law, which took effect the same day Carroll sued. His lawyer, Michael Madaio, didn’t provide details on his planned argument on Wednesday, but critics of the law have said it potentially deprives defendants of their right to due process because older claims with older evidence are more difficult to defend.

Trying to delay... again.

While "older claims with older evidence are more difficult to defend," older claims with older evidence are also more difficult to prove, so it would seem that both parties face the same challenge.

Burden of proof still belongs to the prosecution.

His lawyers might have better luck trying to convince the court that the whole "speedy trial" thing has been thrown out the window.

4. The mother fucker could just give a DNA sample to clear things up.

Rapist, con man, traitor, Russian asset, under age girl fucker, lying sack of grifting shit, phony billionaire,
had a big hand in letting C-19 get out of control killing 14 million world wide, he stole money from the
widows and families of Americans killed in Iraq and Afghanistan with his phony ass University, and he used
Russia to get installed into the White House as he was selling out the Ukraine.

18. So. They have DNA from the rapist ?

Which she says is him?

Is that why all these posts say he could clear himself with a DNA sample?

[Botany]

19. Yes that is the story that the vicitim E. Jean Carroll saved the clothes she was wearing when TFG ..

.... is said to have raped her.

5. "His lawyer, Michael Madaio, didn't provide details on his planned argument"

His argument is my client is guilty so we can't defend him so we'll trying this ridiculously ambiguous hail mary attempt at delay

6. ...rule of thumb..

8. It was illegal then and still is Donny boy.

You just ignore it.

9. A Judge Just told

Trump to quit making useless law suits to slow things down!

10. You'd think he had enough on his plate...

[bucolic_frolic]

11. I'm not a big fan of decades old cases

nor of laws with specific limits. I don't know how this gets past equal protection of the laws. When the window closes other people won't have opportunity to use it. Some can't afford to use it, then or now or later. But use the evidence. Let's see what happens.

16. fair point (n/t)

.

[gab13by13]

12. Who is paying lawyers for all of these law suits?

I cannot fathom Trump paying. Dark money from domestic oligarchs is my guess.

[LiberalFighter]

13. So he is admitting that he did it.

[chriscan64]

14. What's the matter?

Is the old "I didn't do it" defense not working... oh yeah, right.

[Hekate]

15. Worried about Ivanka mulling over her childhood? Those photos he posed for magazines...

…are creepy AF.

[Botany]

17. This picture? Look @ the guy in the yellow to TFG's left. He knows TFG is doing Ivanka.

And didn't TFG call Ivanka a "hot piece of ass?" And still millions voted for him.
