E. Jean Carroll Says Her Generation Only Kept Quiet About Trump’s Rape Accusations

Magazine columnist E. Jean Carroll admitted that she was a part of the “silent generation” who kept quiet about former U.S. President Donald Trump’s rape accusations. Recently, however, Carroll accused Trump of rape twenty years before he was elected president.

Magazine columnist E. Jean Carroll, 79, admitted to a federal civil court jury that she was a part of the “silent generation” who were conditioned to keep quiet and not complain about rape. Recently, however, Carroll accused former U.S. President Donald Trump of rape in a department store’s dressing room twenty years before he was elected president.

An article in Los Angeles Times states that E. Jean Carroll testified when Joe Tacopina, Trump’s lawyer, cross-examined her on why she did not report to the authorities about the alleged rape. Carroll answered that at that time, she was ashamed of the alleged rape and was aware of Trump’s connections and power in New York.
