163451P.pdf   10/27/2017  S.M.  v.  Lincoln County, Missouri
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  16-3451
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis   
[PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Murphy and Melloy, Circuit Judges] Civil case - Civil rights. For the court's prior opinion in the matter, see S.M. v. Krigbaum, 808 F.3d 335 (8th Cir. 2015). There was sufficient evidence to support the jury's finding that defendant Lincoln County was deliberately indifferent to the obvious risk that its failure to supervise a lieutenant in its Sheriff's Department would result in violation of plaintiffs' rights;where defendant failed to object to the district court's verdict director, the only issue before this court is whether the trial evidence permitted a reasonable jury to find for the plaintiffs on the elements of the claim as instructed; plaintiffs' evidence of the sexual abuse they suffered at the hands of the lieutenant was sufficient to support the award of compensatory damages.
