What is the status of ongoing criminal investigations into Donald Trump for sexual misconduct?

1. Allegations, pattern, and civil judgments: what the reporting establishes

Multiple women have publicly accused Donald Trump of sexual harassment or assault over decades, and mainstream outlets and compilations have catalogued at least a dozen to several dozen such claims ^{[3] [1]}; one of those allegations led to a civil jury verdict in 2023 that found Trump liable and awarded damages to E. Jean Carroll, a decision he is appealing ^{[1] [2]}. Major summaries and timelines in outlets such as The Guardian and broadcast summaries by PBS and CBS document the history of allegations and related civil litigation, underscoring that much of the recorded accountability has occurred in civil courts rather than criminal courts ^{[1] [2] [6]}.

2. Criminal investigations: limits of the sourced record

Among the articles supplied, none reports an ongoing criminal investigation or active criminal indictment of Trump specifically for sexual misconduct; the materials focus overwhelmingly on civil suits, media accounts, and advocacy for further governmental review rather than on criminal charging decisions ^{[6] [3] [5]}. Where calls for a government inquiry or “Misogyny Report” have been proposed, they are framed as remedies for gaps left by media coverage and civil litigation—not documentation that a parallel criminal probe is underway in the sourced reporting ^[5].

3. How sources frame accountability versus prosecution

The balance in the supplied reportage is between documenting allegations and observing the legal path most of these claims have taken: civil suits, media exposure, and public pressure—avenues that can produce judgments, settlements, or reputational consequences but do not carry criminal penalties unless prosecutors bring charges ^{[3] [6]}. Commentary and legal scholarship cited here argue that litigation and press accounts have been “inadequate” to fully resolve the pattern of alleged misconduct and have urged formal governmental study; that said, advocacy for inquiry differs from evidence that prosecutors have opened criminal cases ^[5].

4. Denials, defenses, and political context

Trump has consistently denied the allegations, at times promising legal retaliation against accusers and the press, and his campaign has called particular stories “fiction,” a defense line reflected in contemporary coverage ^{[4] [6]}. The political context—Trump’s prominence, his return to the presidency, and attendant staffing and policy shifts at agencies like the Education Department in these sources—complicates how allegations are processed publicly and institutionally, but the supplied reporting does not show that those dynamics have translated into criminal charges for sexual misconduct against him ^{[4] [7]}.

5. What remains unclear from the provided material

The supplied sources make clear there is an extensive public record of allegations and civil rulings, and they include calls for more formal governmental scrutiny, yet they do not document active criminal investigations or indictments tied to those allegations. Therefore, based only on these sources, it is not possible to confirm whether any prosecutor—federal, state, or local—has an ongoing criminal probe into Trump for sexual misconduct beyond the civil and appellate activity reported here ^{[1] [2] [5]}.

Conclusion

Reporting in the provided set shows a sustained history of allegations and at least one consequential civil judgment now on appeal, together with advocacy for formal inquiry; it does not, however, supply evidence of an ongoing criminal investigation or criminal charges against Donald Trump for sexual misconduct. Any definitive statement about active criminal probes would require sources explicitly reporting prosecutorial action, which are not present among the provided items ^{[1] [2] [5]}.
