The landmark rape trial involving Donald Trump and his accusers has garnered significant attention from the public and the media. The Washington Post reports that women who have accused the former president of sexual misconduct see the trial as a rare opportunity for justice. E. Jean Carroll, who took the stand this week, gave a harrowing account of an alleged sexual assault by Trump in the 1990s. Cathy Heller, another accuser, recognized the physical dominance and predatory impulse that Carroll described. Heller is one of at least 17 women who have accused Trump of sexual assault or misconduct, yet these allegations did not prevent him from rising to the White House or launching his reelection campaign. The trial is shedding light on the long fight for justice that these women have faced.
