evidence: On May 10, 2023, a Twitter user shared an image of a poster labeling former U.S. President Donald Trump as a "sex offender." [...] We reached out to the Twitter account that posted the earliest known instance of the image on May 10, asking if that user created it. We had not heard by back publication time. In any case, the poster is not real, nor is it true that Trump is a registered sex offender. [...] However, it is important to note that Trump was not found guilty of a crime in that trial, nor required to register as a sex offender. As Snopes pointed out in a related story, terms like "found guilty" and "convicted" are used in criminal cases, whereas Carroll's case focused on defamation and was a civil proceeding.
