YOUNGSTOWN — Jessica Shobel’s attorney has filed objections to the ruling of a Mahoning County magistrate awarding Shobel $30,000 in noneconomic damages in the civil suit she filed against her stepfather, Tommy Christmas of Boardman, alleging Christmas sexually abused her as a child.

Shobel’s attorney, Kevin Daley, filed objections Feb. 12 to the Jan. 29 ruling by Mahoning County Common Pleas Court Magistrate Dennis Sarisky awarding the $30,000 to Shobel. The objections now go to Mahoning County Common Pleas Court Judge Maureen Sweeney, for whom Sarisky works.

The Shobel filing argues that the $30,000 award was “against the manifest weight of evidence presented at trial and the award of damages is grossly inadequate and shocks the conscience.”

The Shobel filing states that Sarisky stated in his Jan. 29 ruling that “Damages for noneconomic loss means harm other than economic loss and includes, but not limited to, pain and suffering, loss of society and mental anguish.”

Shobel “had testified to sleepless nights, anxiety, PTSD and suicidal thoughts. (Shobel) testified to an attempt to commit suicide by virtue of her motorcycle accident,” the Shobel filing states. “In a review of the testimony presented, the award of $30,000 is grossly inadequate to compensate (Shobel) for these noneconomic damages.”

It adds that Shobel “testified to years of abuse at the hands of (Christmas) and to the meaningful and profoundly detrimental impact that has had on her life.” The filing asks Sweeney to issue an order to award a larger amount of money. The filing states that Daly has requested a transcript of the civil trial in the case, and that transcript will be filed when it is provided by the court reporter.

A one-day trial took place Jan. 20 with Shobel testifying and one other witness. The defense did not present any witnesses. In filings leading up to the trial, Christmas denied the sexual abuse allegations, stating that Shobel’s claims were brought in bad faith in an attempt to damage Christmas.

Christmas was among the people starring in the Youngstown-area reality television show “Fat N’ Furious Rolling Thunder” in the 2014-2015 time period. Shobel had a small role in the show.

Sarisky ruled Jan. 21 in favor of a motion Daley filed at the end of testimony Jan. 20 to issue a “directed verdict” in Shobel’s favor. Sarisky said he would make a ruling on the amount of damages to award to Shobel later. That ruling came Jan. 29.

Shobel reported allegations against Christmas to the Boardman Police Department in late September 2015, according to a copy of the police report, but no charges were ever filed. No new hearings or filings in the case have been filed since the Shobel objections.
