Reagan Tokes' Family's Wrongful Death Suit Was Tossed Out

Reagan Tokes' family filed a wrongful death suit against the Department of Rehabilitation and Corrections and it was dismissed by an Ohio judge on September 4th.
The family claimed the state, along with its contractors and the residential program that housed Golsby were negligent in her death.
The judge determined the state was immune from any of the claims, even if Tokes’ family could prove all of them.
Reagan Tokes was kidnapped, raped at fatally shot by a convicted sex offender, Brian Golsby, back in February 2017. 
Golsby had been released from prison just three months before Tokes’ death and was wearing a GPS ankle monitor while under the watch of the state’s Adult Parole Authority.

Despite this, it was discovered that Golsby and other violent ex-offenders are often not watched closely after their release.

Some of them have gone on to commit additional acts of violence.

Golsby, who was convicted in March this year and is now serving out a life sentence for his role in the murder.
