THREE VICTIMS RECEIVE $1,500,000 FROM DIOCESE OF ORLANDO AND DIOCESE OF ST. AUGUSTINE IN SEXUAL ABUSE CASE. The three victims were abused by priests in Orlando, Florida during the 1960s. Attorney Jeff Herman settled the case for $1.5 million before filing suit. The case was settled in 2005.
ATTORNEY JEFF HERMAN WON A $530,000 VERDICT FOR A MENTALLY DISABLED MAN WHO WAS SEXUALLY ASSAULTED AT VICTORY VILLAS/VICTORY LIVING PROGRAM. The plaintiff was sexually assaulted by his roommates in the Victory Living Program. Attorney Jeff Herman argued that Victory Villas was liable because they had knowledge of the dangerous propensities of the roommate who assaulted the plaintiff. After a two-week trial, the jury found in favor of the plaintiff.
HANDICAPPED CHILDREN SEXUALLY ABUSED AT SCHOOL RECEIVE CONFIDENTIAL SETTLEMENT. The children attended a school that provides education services to special needs children.

THREE SISTERS SEXUALLY ABUSED BY CARPENTER AT CHURCH RECEIVE $540,000 IN DAMAGES. The family of the three girls volunteered to clean the church on the weekends when the girls were 7, 8, and 9 years old. A carpenter volunteering at the church, who was previously arrested for sexual assault, sexually abused the girls while they were working at the church. The little girls did not disclose the abuse at the church until they became adults. Attorney Jeff Herman filed suit and alleged that the pastor at the church knew or should have known that the girls were being abused, in as much as he witnessed the carpenter taking one of the girls into the church bathroom. After filing suit, the case was settled.
