Description
Plaintiff-appellant filed suit for damages against the City of Kirkwood, Lonnie Speer and Derby Liquor Store for personal injuries resulting from a sexual assault. Lonnie Speer is a police officer employed by the City of Kirkwood. Appellant's petition against the City and Speer was dismissed with prejudice. The trial court designated the judgment as final for purposes of appeal. The judgment of dismissal is affirmed. Appellant, a young white female, alleged in her petition that she was on the parking lot of the Derby Liquor Store, crying and being harassed by a group of black men and that Speer observed the harassment. She further alleged that Speer had knowledge of the prior criminal records of the black men, their violent and criminal propensities and failed, omitted and refused to take any measures to warn appellant of the danger or further investigate the suspicious behavior of the black men. Speer also failed to summon assistance for appellant. Appellant suffered severe damages including rape trauma syndrome, traumatic reactive depression, contusions, abrasions, lacerations and permanent injuries to the nerves and vertabral discs.
