Torts – negligence — failure to protect — public policy
Alice Golden appeals a judgment entered on a jury verdict that found her negligent for failing to warn or protect her granddaughters, E.S. and S.S., from being sexually assaulted by Alice’s now former husband Kenneth Golden. Alice argues the circuit court erred by failing to dismiss the negligence claims against her on public policy grounds. She asserts allowing recovery in this case would enter a field that has no sensible starting or stopping point. We reject Alice’s argument, and affirm. This opinion will not be published.
