According to the BBC report on November 25, the Adult Survivors Act of New York took effect on the 24th local time. Carol, a woman writer who accused former President Trump of raping herself in the 1990s, filed a lawsuit. She was also one of the first people to file a lawsuit under the Adult Survivors Act.

On May 24 this year, the Governor of New York State signed the Adult Survivors Act, which took effect on November 24. According to the provisions of the Act, for sexual assault cases where the victim was 18 years old at the time of the crime and the time of the crime has exceeded the statute of limitations for prosecution of most serious crimes, the victim can file a lawsuit in New York State within one year after the Act takes effect.

Carol is a 78 year old columnist of ELLE, a fashion magazine. In 2019, Carol publicly accused Trump of attempting to rape her in the 1990s for the first time. She was very firm about Trump's accusation of rape and said that she hoped to obtain DNA samples from Trump and compare them with the traces left on the clothes she wore when she was raped to prove that there was something wrong. Carroll also said that the location of the crime was the locker room of a luxury department store in New York 27 years ago.

Trump strongly denied these allegations, saying they were false, and he promised that he had not met Carol. Trump admitted that Carol was lying, and that she was just trying to promote her new book by attacking the President.

In response to Trump's response, Carol decided to sue him for defamation. The civil trial of the case is scheduled for February 6 next year.

In a statement, Carroll's lawyer said that the new lawsuit filed on November 24 was aimed at making Trump responsible for his actions.

Trump's lawyer told the American media that although she respected and admired the victims of sexual assault who had come forward, "unfortunately, this case abused the purpose of the Act", and "may also make the credibility of the actual victims lose legitimacy".

In New York State, other people are also planning to file lawsuits under the new law.

This includes a class action lawsuit against Haden, a former gynecologist at New York Presbyterian Hospital and Columbia University Affiliated Hospital, who was accused of sexual abuse by dozens of patients.

Harden was convicted of sex related charges in a New York state court in 2016. Harden pleaded not guilty to a charge that he had abused female patients for 20 years.

Those who focus on safeguarding the rights of survivors of sexual abuse believe that legislation can provide an opportunity for victims who may have previously failed to come forward to accuse survivors because of trauma or fear of retaliation.
