He's an adjudicated rapist, not a convicted one.
Rape is a criminal charges, though, not a civil offense. The adjudication was for sex abuse. He is a rapist in a colloquial understanding of the word given the nature of the sex abuse that he was found liable for meets the definition and criminal requirements of rape. But the adjudication was not for "rape" but for "liability for sex abuse (and defamation)" because a judge cannot adjudicate a crime without a criminal charge and trial, and he hasn't been tried or convicted for sex crimes. Yet.
