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

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

          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.

            Again, another argument of semantics.

            Would change nothing for me, maybe for yourself, to say Donald Trump was found liable of sexual assault by a judge and jury in the court of law.

            Edit:

            You keep obfuscating, though.
