    Trump was never convicted of sexual assault.

    His 34 convictions are for campaign finance crimes.

    He was found civilly liable for sexual assault, and was found as a matter of fact to have raped, but other than monitory fines in civil court, nothing legal can be done about the rapes.

      The term I most see thrown around is “adjudicated rapist” <-- IANAL, so not sure if that applies or not.

        That is the correct term. It came from a civil case, where the burden of proof is lower, but also there’s no criminal consequences.
