Yesterday, July 18,2023, the Circuit Court of First Circuit issued a ruling on the damages awarded to the Plaintiff (N.D.) against Kenneth L. Apana, involving allegations arising out of childhood sexual abuse when the child was 12 years of age.

The lawsuit was filed in 2020 against Apana and the Makaha, Hawaii Congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses, of whom Apana was an “Elder”.  The claims against the church were later part of a confidential settlement.  However, the case proceeded on damages against the individual abuser who failed to respond.

Here's yet another compelling case awaiting the appellate courts' consideration. An overwhelming number of judgments delivered by lower courts are being successfully overturned.
