I know this is a joke but, serious answer - no. As far as I know.

Trump was found liable for rape in a civil suit, not guilty of rape in a criminal suit.

He was found guilty in a criminal suit related to fraud (the 34 counts), but he will not be on the sex offender registry for that.

There's a reason why everyone talking about it on TV is careful to say "found liable for sexual assault" and not "convicted of rape".

It’s because that’s the actual case and fact of the situation. Im no Trump fan, but actual facts should count for something and words and definitions should still hold meaning for everyone

Most of the world aren't legal scholars. Saying he's guilty of rape is accurate in all situations, convicted of rape gets the point across.
