Anderson was in Las Vegas for an industry trade show. One night, after having a lot to drink, she went to her room at 2a.m. A hotel employee, who had a passkey, entered her room and raped her. He was apprehended and convicted. Anderson sued the hotel for negligently hiring as the employee had threatened a supervisor and there had been other instances of sexual assaults by hotel employees. The trial court held that the hotel was not liable because this assault was not foreseeable. The Nevada high court:
A) agreed because the employee who committed the assault had no record of prior assaults.
B) agreed because Anderson failed to lock her door so a passkey could not work.
C) disagreed because hotel supervisors had seen the employee enter rooms improperly so was on notice that his actions were suspicious.
D) disagreed because under state law hotels are held strictly liable for assaults on guests by hotel employees.
E) none of the other choices are correct.
