State v. Wadsworth
Annotate this CaseThis case involved a claim for restitution by the victim of a sex crime committed by Defendant. The State alleged that Defendant’s crimes led to the victim’s depression, which impacted her ability to work and required counseling. The district court ordered Defendant to pay $12,934 in lost income in addition to restitution of the costs of the victim’s counseling. On appeal, Defendant challenged the lost income award, arguing that lost income is not available under the Crime Victims Restitution Act unless “the offense resulted in bodily injury to a victim.” The court of appeals affirmed. The Supreme Court reversed, holding that restitution for lost income was not available in this case because there was no allegation that Defendant’s offense “resulted in bodily injury” to the victim.
