@Rathkryn No, the jury found that he sexually assaulted her and defamed her for claiming otherwise. There was no settlement to that case, it went to a full verdict. They did not find him liable of rape, because they could not be certain whether he used a finger or his member, given their relative similarity, but this is not a declaration that he was innocent, because this was not a criminal case.
"innocent until proven guilty" does not apply here, as this is not a criminal case either. This is a defamation case, and in the Us we have freedom of speech, which means that you can say anything you want about a person, and the burden of proof is on them to prove that it is definitely false.
The only way that there would be a defacto judgement that the claim was false would be if there had been a criminal case and he'd been found innocent. This has not occurred.
