OH: Bill to Lift Noneconomic Damages Cap in Rape Cases

In 2016, an Ohio Supreme Court ruling threw out a $3.6M jury award to a woman who had been raped by her pastor at the age of 15.  The court reduced the award to around $385,000 based on a noneconomic damages cap.  Proposed legislation would exempt rape victims from the cap.  A similar effort failed right after the 2016 ruling.  Surely exempting rape from the cap is the decent thing to do.  The Washington Times has details.
