APARTMENT TENANT KIDNAPPED FROM APARTMENT PARKING LOT AND RAPED AFTER MANAGEMENT FAILED TO CLOSE SECURITY GATE TO LOT.

A woman was spending the night with her mother at the mother's apartment building because heavy snow was forecast and the apartment building was quite near to the her job at a local hospital. She parked in the secure gated parking lot at the rear of the building. Unbeknownst to the nurse, the gate had been left open all night. The nurse believed the lot was under video surveillance but in fact the cameras had not worked properly for many years. She was attacked by an intruder as she walked to her car. The man beat her for several minutes before forcing her into her car and driving her to several remote locations where he raped her. The owners of the apartment building claimed there had been no prior crimes in the parking lot but investigation showed a number of car break-ins and armed robberies had taken place. These were never reported to the tenants. Indeed, management had destroyed documents from their records that would have disclosed the prior crimes. In addition, it was proved that even though the video cameras were aimed exactly at the spot where the abduction took place, the monitors showed nothing unusual because the lenses of the cameras were so damaged and out of focus for years.
