A 16-year-old girl was given more than $1.3 million by a Multnomah County jury on Tuesday after it was determined that the state’s Department of Human Services had failed to protect her from sexual assault.
In 2021, Robert Thomas Wilson entered a guilty plea to the charge of sexually abusing the youngster, who was the daughter of his girlfriend. He is incarcerated for a number of years.
