Court reinstates rape liability suits against apartment owners
California's Court of Appeal upheld two suits by tenants Kim O Hara and Debra Podawiltz against Western Seven Trees Corp. alleging inadequate security and concealment of a rapist profile. The court said landlords may be liable for criminal acts if they fail to take reasonable steps to protect tenants. The cases involved rapes tied to a composite sketch given to management.
