US writer E. Jean Carroll sued former US President Donald Trump for allegedly sexually harassing him.

American author E. Jean Carroll sued former US President Donald Trump, who he accused of rape, in New York.

Author Carroll filed her rape case under a new law that went into effect yesterday in New York state. The new law allows rape victims in the state to file lawsuits no matter how long the incident has passed.

Author Carroll's lawyer, Roberta Kaplan, said in a statement that they wanted to hold former US President Trump accountable for his actions. Trump's attorney, Alina Habba; "This case is unfortunately an example of abuse of the new law and risks harming real rape victims."

Carroll claimed that she helped Trump choose a gift at a New York store, broke into her locker room, and that Trump raped her.

Carroll later told two of her close friends about the incident, but her friends told him to 'shut up'.

Trump's response to Carroll's allegations
