I’m not an expert on the nuance of the US legal system, but “convicted” probably applies to the criminal system, right? What would it be in this scenario? A confirmed rapist? Just “a rapist”?
Still, the guy raped some lady and he’s actively running for president. That one would be shocking any time before the mid 2010s, honestly.
Civil courts require a lower burden of proof than criminal courts. You can lose a civil case but then be declared innocent in a subsequent criminal case using the same evidence.
As far as I know, “convicted” refers to criminal convictions, which doesn’t apply to Trump yet.

Yeah, “civilly liable rapist” doesn’t have quite the same ring to it
Well, that’s not so bad then… /s
