Yes. Has to do with the fact that it was outside the statute of limitations.

"From the 1970s until he was elected president in 2016, Donald Trump and his businesses were involved in over 4,000 legal cases in U.S. federal and state courts, including battles with casino patrons, million-dollar real estate lawsuits, personal defamation lawsuits, and over 100 business tax disputes" [source ](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_and_business_legal_affairs_of_Donald_Trump#:~:text=From%20the%201970s%20until%20he,over%20100%20business%20tax%20disputes) That's BEFORE HE WAS PRESIDENT >Yeah, I’m sure Trump is actually a huge criminal who committed crime after crime and who wasn’t caught until after he ~~became hated~~ came into the spotlight.  Ftfy When you become president you have GIANT spot light over your entire life. Hiding skeletons in the closet gets exponentially harder because the entire world is looking at your life through a microscope. >Allegedly raped a woman. She, too, took a while to come forward with her claims Not 'allegedly' anymore.. He was found liable for raping her. That is the correct terminology. She took a while to come forward because she had passed the statute of limitations. Recently The law opened a one-time window for adult sexual assault survivors in New York to file a civil case against an abuser or institution that protected the abuser — no matter when the assault took place, even if it's outside the statute of limitations. But that window expires in six months. She was one of the people that came forward. She did not have the money to fight a billionaire in court before the statute of limitations was up earlier in her life.
