State v. Brave
Annotate this CaseDefendant pled guilty to an amended charge of criminal endangerment for having sexual intercourse with A.C., a fourteen-year-old, which resulted in A.C. becoming pregnant and giving birth to twins. The district court ordered Defendant to pay $35,667 in restitution to A.C.’s mother, which included $25,000 A.C.’s mother, D.C., claimed as lost wages due to the leave of absence she took from work to care for A.C. and the twins after the twins were born. Defendant appealed, challenging the restitution order and several of the conditions of his probation. The Supreme Court (1) affirmed the district court’s restitution order, holding that the court did not err in awarding D.C. $25,000 in lost wages; and (2) reversed several of the probation conditions due to various errors.
