Apparently the victim of Kobe Bryant's alleged attack is suing now in civil court for battery and claiming as part of her damages the distress associated with being at the center of the media storm surrounding the case. Assuming she prevails on the underlying battery claim, I have no idea whether this sort of consequential damage is compensable in American law. How would other common law systems treat this damage claim arising from an intentional tort?
