$865,000 Settlement – Sexual Abuse

A settlement was reached involving a 75-year-old woman with Alzheimer’s Disease who was sexually abused on a bus in southwestern Illinois during 2016. The plaintiff’s transportation was arranged by an adult day care center that was aware of her vulnerability. She was raped on an empty bus by the driver, and there was not a video camera nor a chaperone in the vehicle, even though the bus company had at least one prior sexual assault of a passenger.
