Bankruptcy is an option but may not work. There is a clause in the bankruptcy code the prevents persons discharging debts incurred as part of "an intentional tort".
The lawyers for the girls would surely know that, and use that, and that judgment would not be discharged. I did that in 2 copyright cases and came out on the winning side both times, but in one (Oregon District Court) the bankruptcy judge did encourage my lawyer and their lawyer to work out a deal for payment, etc.
For those interested in the criminal case I'm going to start a new thread.
