The reporting

What the Evidence Shows

The claim that Trump has been accused of rape is true. Among the search results, the most relevant is the Reuters article reporting that a U.S. Appeals court refused to reconsider a $5 million loss Trump faced in a case brought by E. Jean Carroll.

Carroll accused Trump of raping her in the 1990s, and the court ruling indicates that the legal process has recognized the validity of her claim to some extent by upholding the verdict against Trump. While none of the other search results directly address rape accusations against Trump, this court case is well-documented and widely reported in reliable news sources outside this search as well.

Therefore, the claim that Trump has been accused of rape is supported by credible legal proceedings and court decisions.
