Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

While it is true that the woman let the man into her room, it is not necessarily true that the motel is not responsible for the assault. The motel has a duty to provide a safe environment for its guests, and if it can be proven that the motel failed to provide adequate security measures or acted negligently in some other way, they could still be held partially responsible for the assault. The percentage of fault assigned to the woman and the motel would depend on the specific circumstances of the case.
