Case Details
The State of New Jersey awarded a historic $25 million in a trial verdict to a survivor of child sex abuse in the first case brought to trial under the Child Victims Act. The case was against the state’s Division of Youth and Family Services (DYFS). The unanimous trial verdict found DYFS 99% liable for gross negligence through numerous failures to protect the plaintiff while in foster care, which exposed the survivor to vicious sexual abuse and revictimization.
