Arkansas court to decide if 86-year-old rapist must pay victim $12.5 million
Original: Arkansas court will rule on whether rapist, 86, must pay $12.5 million to victim
An Arkansas appeals court will rule on whether an 86-year-old man convicted of rape must pay a $12.5 million judgment to his victim. The case raises questions about whether the large award can be enforced against the elderly offender, and the outcome is being watched as a test of how far civil judgments can reach in decades-old sexual assault cases in the state.
Why now: The pending court ruling on an unusual and large damages award against an elderly convicted rapist has drawn attention to accountability for old sexual assault cases.
