Have any courts or official probes found Donald Trump guilty of crimes related to minors?

1. What courts have actually convicted Trump — and for what?

The most concrete judicial findings in the sources concern a 2024 Manhattan criminal trial that resulted in a conviction on 34 felony counts of first‑degree falsifying business records tied to payments before the 2016 election; that verdict and related sentencing actions are described across court filings and news trackers ^{[1] [5] [2]}. Those counts relate to bookkeeping and campaign‑related payments (commonly labeled the “hush‑money” case involving Stormy Daniels, an adult), not to sexual crimes against minors in the materials provided ^{[1] [2]}.

2. Allegations and documents linking Trump to Jeffrey Epstein: reporting vs. legal findings

Extensive material released about Jeffrey Epstein has renewed scrutiny of many figures who interacted with him. Reporting in EL PAÍS highlights Epstein’s monitoring and notes emails that reference “the dog that hasn’t barked is Trump,” and mentions victims named in the materials, but the piece does not state that any court has found Trump criminally guilty of offenses against minors based on those files ^[3]. In short: the Epstein documents have fueled questions and allegations, but available reporting cited here does not show a court verdict against Trump for crimes involving minors ^[3].

3. Viral lists and social posts claiming child‑sex settlements: what fact‑checkers say

A widely circulated list claiming Trump settled multiple child‑sex cases involving children as young as 10 was examined by PolitiFact; their review found no evidence to support that list and concluded there was no proof of the alleged settlements in the public record presented ^[4]. That does not affirmatively prove innocence, but it does mean the specific claims in that circulating list are not corroborated in the cited fact‑check ^[4].

4. Civil accusations and non‑criminal claims vs. criminal convictions

Historical reporting and compilations (for example, reviews of assault allegations) document many civil claims and accusations of sexual misconduct against Trump from numerous women across decades (PBS recaps allegations of unwanted touching, groping and other conduct), but those are distinct from criminal convictions and — in the sources here — are not described as resulting in criminal findings against Trump involving minors ^[6]. The distinction matters legally: civil allegations, settlements, media reports and document dumps are not the same as criminal guilty verdicts or official prosecutorial findings of crimes involving minors.

5. What probes have looked at related material — and what did they conclude?

The sources describe prosecutions and official investigations in different contexts (Manhattan DA case, special counsel investigations), and they note that prosecutors and courts pursued various matters through 2024–2025, including some cases that were later paused, dismissed or affected by post‑election decisions ^{[1] [2] [7]}. None of the cited prosecutions or appeals in these sources are stated to have produced a judicial finding that Trump was criminally guilty of offenses concerning minors ^{[1] [2] [7]}.

6. Limits of available reporting and remaining questions

Available sources do not mention any court conviction or official prosecutorial finding that Donald Trump committed crimes involving minors; they also leave open questions raised by released Epstein materials and unverified social‑media lists ^{[3] [4]}. If new court rulings, indictments, or authoritative official probe findings appear after these items, they are not covered in the current reporting cited here ^{[3] [1] [4]}.

7. Bottom line for readers seeking to verify claims

Current, cited reporting documents convictions of Donald Trump for falsifying business records tied to hush‑money payments — not criminal guilt for crimes against minors — and fact‑checks have found no evidence for one high‑profile list alleging multiple child‑sex settlements by Trump ^{[1] [5] [4]}. For readers, that means distinguishing (a) documented criminal verdicts in court records, (b) investigative document releases and media allegations, and (c) unverified social‑media claims; the sources here show the first category exists for falsified records but do not show it for crimes involving minors ^{[1] [3] [4]}.
