Security Firm Pays $5M After Campus Assault | Santa Fe News

A Santa Fe jury slapped a security firm with a $5 million verdict after finding it partially liable for failing to stop a 2021 campus assault on a 16-year-old student—now 21 and proud of her fight. The jury pinned 70% fault on the attacker, 20% on the school district (which already paid $2.2M), and 10% on Allied Universal, whose guards allegedly did nothing despite being present. The victim, who woke up with no memory of the attack after being drugged, testified powerfully. The security company disputes the ruling and plans to appeal, even though attorneys had tried to downplay the incident as consensual. The verdict underscores the stakes when corporations neglect safety—and the consequences when they do. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
