Jury To Deliberate In Boston Hotel Parking Garage Lawsuit
BOSTON (AP) — A jury is set to begin deliberating this week in the case of a woman who sued after she was raped in a Boston hotel parking garage.
Lawyers for both sides presented closing arguments Monday in Suffolk Superior Court.
The Haverhill woman says she was exiting an elevator at the Radisson Hotel parking garage in 2009 when she was sexually assaulted.
The woman's suit alleges that JPA, which owned the hotel and parking garage, and LAZ parking, were negligent in protecting her. The suit says another woman had been raped in the same garage by the same man 12 days earlier.
The suit seeks between $7 and $10 million in damages.
JPA's attorney says Boston police told hotel personnel not to publicize the first rape to protect their investigation.
