And he's running for presidency, isn't he?
He’s not in the running, no. He would need enough nominations for that. But like all far right grifters, he’ll say anything.
Did he only get a financial hit or did he do jail time? I'm out of the loop.
It’s a civil case.
Right, so there wasn't a criminal trial, only a civil is what I'm guessing you're saying.
Yup! He's officially legally a r*pist now
Man I remember when he was super popular and i would get downvoted by all the bros for saying he was a piece of shit and a racist and so many other things
So why haven't criminal charges been brought against him?
The Notorious Rapist.
I'm not familiar with this specific legal system but how can a rape be tried as a civil matter?
In most jurisdictions you have 2 kinds of courts, criminal and civil. Criminal is the government accusing a person or entity of breaking a law and saying they should be punished (fines, confinement, death, etc). Civil is a person or entity accusing another person or entity of harming them in some way and saying they should be punished with a fine. Both trials can technically happen at the same time but they tend to avoid doing that for various reasons.
Same way oj was tried civilly for murder and lost
Am I missing something, why aren't they criminal charges brought against him?
Because they wouldn't convict him due to low quality of evidence
