Psychologist expected to tell Trump rape trial of harm to E Jean Carroll

Trauma specialist Dr Leslie Lebowitz likely to explain advice columnist’s behaviour during and after alleged attack

A clinical psychologist, Dr Leslie Lebowitz, was expected to tell a New York jury on Wednesday about the harm caused by Donald Trump’s alleged rape of the advice columnist E Jean Carroll.

Lebowitz, a trauma specialist, was also called to explain aspects of Carroll’s behaviour during and after the alleged 1996 attack, including her failure to scream or call the police, that Trump’s lawyers have attempted to portray as evidence she fabricated the incident.
