13-807. Civil actions by victims or other
persons


A defendant convicted in a criminal proceeding is precluded from subsequently
denying in any civil proceeding brought by the victim or this state against the criminal
defendant the essential allegations of the criminal offense of which he was adjudged
guilty, including judgments of guilt resulting from no contest pleas. An order of
restitution in favor of a person does not preclude that person from bringing a separate
civil action and proving in that action damages in excess of the amount of the
restitution order.
