The words "jury awarded" indicate that this was a civil case. Honestly, I don't understand how a teenager can be sued for anything since they cannot be held liable for their actions other than those implicitly or explicitly enumerated in the applicable penal codes. In other words, if they didn't break a specific law, I don't understand how they can be held accountable for their actions when they are younger than the age of contractual consent.
