Epic Fail: Hotel Blames Victim For Rape

A Marriott hotel in Connecticut says a woman who was raped there back in 2006, at gunpoint and in front of her children was careless and negligent.

The Stamford Marriott Hotel & Spa filed court papers claiming the woman "failed to exercise due care for her own safety and the safety of her children and proper use of her senses and facilities."

The woman was approached by the rapist at gunpoint. She told him to go through her wallet and take it. But he raped her instead, assaulting the woman in the hotel's parking garage, inside her minivan while her 3 and 5 year old watched. The man reportedly also threatened to assault one of her children. He was arrested three days after the attack and is now serving 20 years.

The woman claims the man was in the hotel and the garage acting suspicious for days before the attack, but the hotel did not notice him or make him leave. The woman has since filed a civil suit against the hotel on grounds it failed to prevent the rape.

Her attorneys say the hotel has revealed her identity by asking her acquaintances, and even a Pilates instructor, to testify.

Where is the justice?
