Have any settlements or jury verdicts held Trump companies liable for facilitating sexual misconduct?

1. What the record shows: individual liability in the Carroll cases

The clearest, cited example in the provided reporting is E. Jean Carroll’s cases against Donald J. Trump: a jury in May 2023 found Trump personally liable for sexually abusing and defaming Carroll and ordered $5 million in damages (with total related awards noted as $88.3 million across cases), and appellate decisions upholding parts of that judgment are documented in the record ^[1]. That line of reporting treats Trump as an individual defendant, not as a corporate entity, and describes legal theories and verdict forms under New York battery and defamation law tied to his conduct and statements ^[1].

2. What the sources say about Trump companies and broader suits

The supplied material catalogs thousands of legal cases involving Donald Trump and his businesses over decades, but the summaries emphasize business disputes, bankruptcies, defamation suits, and individual allegations against Trump himself rather than adjudicated corporate liability for facilitating sexual misconduct ^[3]. A separate article about accusations tied to people around Trump references lawsuits naming other organizations — for example, claims against WWE and the McMahons alleging a permissive culture around misconduct — but that is distinct from Trump-owned companies being held liable ^[2].

3. Where reporting highlights culture or associates but not corporate liability

Some reporting addresses allegations about people in Trump’s orbit or institutional failures elsewhere (for instance, coverage about alleged misconduct in other organizations), which can suggest themes about workplace culture and accountability; however, the available sources do not link a court verdict or settlement that specifically finds a Trump business civilly responsible for facilitating sexual misconduct ^{[2] [3]}. In short, the documentation provided focuses on individual claims against Trump and on unrelated organizational lawsuits.

4. Limitations and gaps in the available reporting

Available sources do not mention any jury verdict or settlement that names a Trump company (for example, the Trump Organization or any specific Trump LLC) as civilly liable for facilitating sexual misconduct; if such rulings exist they are not present in the current set of documents ^{[1] [3]}. The Wikipedia summaries and news pieces here concentrate on individual liability and a catalog of many legal matters; they do not constitute exhaustive legal research of all filings, settlements, or confidential agreements involving Trump businesses ^[3].

5. Competing perspectives and why the distinction matters

Legal accountability can fall on individuals, corporations, or both. The sources show courts have held Trump personally liable in at least one high-profile sexual-abuse/defamation case (E. Jean Carroll), which is a grave legal finding against him as an individual ^[1]. Advocates for survivors often push to name employers or corporate actors when workplace or power dynamics allegedly enabled misconduct; the provided materials do not show courts making that corporate-link finding for Trump entities, and others might point to private settlements or nondisclosure agreements outside public record — but such settlements are not documented in these sources ^{[1] [3]}.

6. Takeaway for readers and next steps

Based on the documents you provided, courts have awarded damages against Donald Trump personally for sexual abuse and defamation (E. Jean Carroll) ^[1]. The provided reporting does not show any settlement or jury verdict that specifically holds a Trump-owned company liable for facilitating sexual misconduct; confirming whether such corporate liability exists would require searching additional legal records, court dockets, and investigative reporting beyond the current sources ^{[1] [3]}.
