Child Protection Investigator

Jacksonville, FL: (Sep-27-07) The family of a 12-year-old Jacksonville girl brought charges against Louis Templeman, a former Department of Children and Families employee, alleging that the man abused the girl when she was 5-years-old. A Duval County jury ruled in May 2007 that Templeman violated the girl's civil rights when he allegedly sexually molested her. The suspected abuse happened back in July of 2000, when Templeman worked as a child protection investigator. In a settlement reached, the 12-year-old was awarded $800,000, resolving the lawsuit. The judgment against him was only announced recently because the time for an appeal had passed. In total, the girl was awarded more than $788,000. The girl is now living with her biological mother.
