Facts
The plaintiff, a minor, was 15 years-old when she was raped by the defendant, Walter Bobadilla Ramos. The plaintiff went to the authorities and the defendant was charged. However, he jumped bail after he was required to provide DNA samples to prosecutors.
Settlement Discussions
The Church had no insurance policy and no significant assets. Thus, the plaintiffs chose to settle with the church pastors by having them provide a special church service at which they apologized to the plaintiff and her family and invited them to return to the Church.
Result
$1,500,486 default judgment against defendant Ramos.
Other Information
Ramos was recently apprehended by authorities in Arizona.
