Rape Victim Rightly Granted Restitution for Lost Scholarship
Div. Six of this district’s Court of Appeal held yesterday that a trial judge did not abuse her discretion in awarding the rape victim of an on-campus assault $20,000 in restitution to account for a four-year scholarship she lost after withdrawing from classes at the Camarillo-based California State University Channel Islands in the wake of the attack, rejecting the defendant’s view that a recent U.S. Supreme Court decision operates to require a jury trial on the issue.
