$500,000 Settlement for Rooftop Sexual Assault

$500,000 settlement for a mentally disabled woman who was gang raped on the rooftop of a large residential housing complex. The woman’s assailants, who had disabled the roof alarm, were never arrested, or prosecuted. However, we were able to demonstrate through security experts that the building owners had failed to take appropriate precautions to secure the rooftop such as installing an alarm system that could notify security personnel that the alarm had been disconnected and that people were on the roof.
