"There is no body or universe of verdicts we see yet, so the parties are struggling with the valuation," the plaintiff's attorney said. "Entities can now start seeing the consequences from a jury when there are things you could have done to prevent sexual abuse but did not."

A Salem County Superior Court jury is the latest to return a verdict in favor of a plaintiff in a sexual abuse claim. Dennis Bachman was awarded $750,000 for negligent childhood sexual abuse which allegedly occurred for a year while he was placed in the Salem County Juveniles in Need of Shelter system by a counselor.
The award came about a week after another New Jersey jury awarded more than $20 million in a sex abuse case against a state agency.
