Which rape or sexual assault allegations against Donald Trump were settled out of court?

1. What was resolved by trial, not settlement — the E. Jean Carroll case

The most prominent judgment is the May 2023 jury verdict finding Trump liable for sexually abusing and defaming E. Jean Carroll and awarding $5 million in damages; that verdict was appealed and upheld in subsequent rulings ^[1]. Media outlets report additional related appellate rulings upholding large damage awards tied to Carroll’s claims and defamation findings ^{[2] [4]}. This is a court judgment, not an out‑of‑court settlement ^[1].

2. Named civil suits that reporting says were settled or privately resolved

Reporting and compiled timelines note several earlier allegations that were addressed by private settlements or confidentiality provisions. For example, elements tied to Trump’s 1990 divorce from Ivana included a settlement with a confidentiality clause restricting discussion of the marriage or divorce ^[2]. Journalistic summaries and legal histories also cite a 1997 suit by Jill Harth alleging sexual propositions and assaults; some reporting frames portions of those matters as having been handled privately, though exact settlement terms and dates are not fully specified in the sources here ^{[3] [2]}.

3. What available sources explicitly identify as settled out of court — limited detail

The provided corpus does not supply a consolidated, authoritative list of each allegation that ended in an out‑of‑court settlement nor full settlement terms. Wikipedia and timeline pieces note private resolutions and confidentiality clauses in several older matters (e.g., Ivana Trump’s divorce settlement), and mention women who brought lawsuits such as Harth’s that involved private handling, but those sources do not consistently enumerate every settlement or its financial/contractual terms ^{[2] [3]}.

4. Public confusion and circulation of unverified lists

Fact‑checking outlets and reports have flagged social posts that circulate lists alleging multiple payments or settlements by Trump — including sensational claims about settlements involving minors — and found no reliable evidence for those specific lists in available reporting ^[5]. This illustrates how unverified compilations can circulate even when public, verifiable court judgments (like Carroll’s) exist ^[5].

5. How journalists and courts treat civil settlements vs. verdicts

Court judgments (e.g., Carroll’s $5 million verdict and appellate affirmations) are public, litigated outcomes recorded in court dockets and widely reported ^[1]. By contrast, out‑of‑court settlements are often confidential by design; reporting will sometimes note their existence (or a confidentiality clause) but cannot always disclose sums or exact language if parties agreed to secrecy — which is why retrospective lists can be incomplete or contested ^{[2] [3]}.

6. What this means for answering the original question

Available sources confirm at least one major litigation resulted in a jury judgment (E. Jean Carroll) rather than settlement ^[1]. Reporting mentions other disputes handled privately (e.g., divorce confidentiality, Harth’s 1997 suit) and references settlement activity in Trump’s broader litigation history, but the sources provided do not supply a comprehensive, sourced catalogue of every rape or sexual‑assault allegation that was specifically settled out of court or the settlement terms ^{[2] [3] [5]}. Therefore, a definitive list of “which rape or sexual assault allegations were settled out of court” is not found in the current reporting supplied here.

Limitations and competing perspectives: sources here combine courtroom records (clear on verdicts and appeals) with journalistic summaries that sometimes note private resolutions without full documentation; fact‑checkers warn about unverified social lists ^{[1] [2] [5]}. Available sources do not mention a single, authoritative inventory of out‑of‑court settlements for sexual‑assault allegations against Trump.
