Former President Donald Trump’s legal team ended its closing arguments in his rape trial on May 8, 2023, by saying Trump’s accuser – journalist E. Jean Carroll – was lying about the alleged decades-old assault.

Key Points: 
  • Former President Donald Trump’s legal team ended its closing arguments in his rape trial on May 8, 2023, by saying Trump’s accuser – journalist E. Jean Carroll – was lying about the alleged decades-old assault.
  • Following the two-week trial, a Manhattan jury is expected to soon reach a verdict about whether Trump is guilty of battery and defamation as Carroll’s lawsuit, filed in 2022, claims.
  • Trump has always denied that he raped Carroll.

Myths about responses to sexual assault

    • Over several decades, researchers have documented myths about sexual assault – referred to as rape myths – that are both common and persistently held.
    • Like the line of questioning directed at Carroll, rape myths imply that “real” sexual assault can be distinguished from false accusations based on how women responded to the assault.
    • Rape myths are so prevalent that they can even be detected among people with training on sexual assault, such as law enforcement officers and crime lab personnel.
    • Contrary to myths, though, people respond in diverse ways when they experience traumatic events, including sexual assault.

Myths about responses to disclosure

    • After all, research shows that sexual assault can take a serious toll on all aspects of survivors’ lives, from their physical and psychological health to their careers and education.
    • In 2015, a team of researchers considered responses to sexual assault in a court setting by asking mock jurors to read nearly identical summaries of a sexual assault trial.

Women rarely lie about sexual assault

    • People routinely question women’s credibility when they disclose sexual harassment and assault, and imply that women lie about assault.
    • However, evidence consistently shows that false reports of sexual assault are exceedingly rare.
    • For example, two different research teams analyzed sexual assault reports made to the Los Angeles Police Department and a large university police department.
    • Yet, the vast majority of sexual assault cases reported to law enforcement do not result in convictions.
