The jury concluded that San Bernardino County sheriff's deputies failed to report child neglect, leading to a $33 million verdict following a sexual abuse case.
The victim's attorney emphasized the importance of taking child abuse and neglect reporting more seriously, highlighting the community's decision on the wrongness of the abuse.
Cox, who had taken the boy in away from a troubled family life, was later convicted of multiple lewd acts against him and sentenced to prison.
The county plans to challenge the verdict while the victim reflects on the jury's decision signaling society's recognition of the wrongs he suffered.
