The perpetrator, Chad Curtis, was a former professional baseball player found guilty on six counts of criminal sexual conduct against female high school student-athletes, including Ms. King. Following a bench trial on King’s claims against Curtis, Monica achieved the court’s award to Ms. King of $1.8 million in damages.
