Cases | State v. Donahue, 995 P.2d 1202 (Or. Ct. App. 2000) | 2018

The defendant was convicted of first-degree sexual abuse. On appeal, the defendant claimed the trial court erred in ordering a compensatory fine, which was awarded to compensate the victim for harm suffered. At the time, the victim had a counseling appointment, but had not yet received counseling. The appeals court found that a scheduled counseling appointment did not establish the victim had or would incur pecuniary harm and vacated the compensatory fine.
