Jessica Simpkins, et al. v. Grace Brethren Church of Delaware, Ohio, Case No. 2014-1953

Fifth District Court of Appeals (Delaware County)

ISSUES:

-Does R.C. 2315.18, which governs awards of damages for injuries or loss, violate the constitutional rights to due process, equal protection, trial by jury, and open courts and a remedy as applied to minors who are victims of sexual abuse?

-Were the acts of sexual battery separate "occurrences" for purposes of applying the damage cap for noneconomic losses in R.C. 2315.18?
