Former President Donald Trump must pay writer E. Jean Carroll $83.3 million for defaming her in 2019 after she accused him of sexually assaulting her in a department store in the 1990s.
The jury determined that Trump must pay $18.3 million in compensatory damages and $65 million in punitive damages.
A separate jury last year found Trump liable for sexually assaulting and then defaming Carroll, awarding her $5 million in damages.
The current jury of nine New Yorkers — including a former schoolteacher, a transit worker, and a property manager — rendered a verdict after deliberating for just under three hours.
Trump has denied all wrongdoing and has said he doesn’t know who Carroll is.
