That statement is true

On most cases, the punishment given to the defendant would be equal to the damages that the defendant caused to the victim.

In some circumstances, on the other hand, the court might punish the defendant with punitive damage. This will make the defendant receive harsher punishment that exceeds the damage that the defendant caused to the victim.

usually, punitive damages only given to dangerous violation in order to set up an example for other citizens to avoid that same violation.

An actor, accused of a series of sexual assaults on women he had allegedly deliberately drugged, is questioned by his publicists
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer: Frame-up

Explanation:

This is the act in which false evidence is given about someone in order to falsely accuse them of the crime that they did not commit, usually this is done by the actual person who committed the crime in order to dogde the punishment whilst others take their fall.

We see the publicists above (who represents the actor who is allegedly accused) saying the woman are just doing these sexual claims for money gains , by doing this they are shifting the focus from the real perpetrator to put the blame on the women; to say they are the guilty one because they were driven by extortion.

They are trying to bring evidence that will make these woman look guilty.
