Partner Todd Angstadt and Associate Micha Yospe Convince Court to Dismiss Sexual Assault Claims against Client
Congratulations to Partner Todd Angstadt and Associate Micah Yospe for prevailing in a Motion for Summary Judgment. A minor plaintiff alleged sexual assault by a family friend. She alleged that our client, the father of the alleged assailant, failed to prevent the assault, which occurred at his home, and otherwise failed to protect or warn plaintiff. The Court agreed with Messrs. Angstadt and Yospe that the firm’s client had no duty to prevent the alleged assault, even though it occurred at his home, because he lacked the ability to control over his adult son and the alleged assault was not reasonably foreseeable.
