He’s unquestionably a rapist, but he is not a convicted rapist.

Semantics. Some might classify the secual assault he preformed as rape.

No, it’s because the finding was made in civil court, not criminal court, therefore not convicted.

Huh? You can be convicted in civile court…

A conviction leads to sentencing (normally) in a criminal matter. A cival court is settling a cival matter, not a criminal one. Criminal courts convict you of a crime and sentence you to some kind of punishment. Cival courts can make you pay a fine, but not convict you of a crime.

Nope, just of sexual abuse. Which is, like…. Come on New York what’s the fucking difference here? Especially when you hear the story of what happened. I don’t understand how they talked the court down from rape to sexual abuse.

My understanding is that she wasn’t able to say with 100% certainty that he put his penis inside her; that it could have been his finger. Which is a pretty sick burn to have on-record but actually lines up with what his other victims say.
