Description
This appeal arises from a lawsuit filed by Henry Jordan, an incompetent, alleging Reverend Thomas Masters sexually abused him. Jordan sued Masters on many theories, the ones reaching a jury determination being sexual battery, false imprisonment, breach of fiduciary duty, and intentional infliction of emotional distress. Jordan also sued Deacon Joseph Lawrence and Macedonia Baptist Church, alleging a breach of fiduciary duty based upon their actions in connection with Jordan's allegations against Masters. After the jury rendered a verdict as to all defendants in favor of Jordan, the trial court directed a verdict in favor of Lawrence and the church on the breach of fiduciary duty claim based upon Doe v. Evans, 718 So. 2d 286 (Fla. 4th DCA 1998), prompting this appeal. Masters cross-appeals the final judgment entered in favor of Jordan and against him on a similar breach of fiduciary duty. The supreme court recently quashed Doe in Doe v. Evans, 814 So. 2d 370 (Fla. 2002). As a result, we reverse the directed verdict. On cross-appeal, appellees have also raised several evidentiary errors committed by the trial court. We conclude that harmful error was committed, and we reverse for a new trial.
