Dallas’ Fifth Court of Appeals, taking on the issue of foreseeability of criminal conduct, has reversed a $1 million jury award to two women sexually assaulted by an intruder who came into their apartment through a window with a faulty latch.

The case, AVPM v. Childers, arises from an assault that occurred at Tracy Childers’ apartment at Stoneleigh Place in Garland, leading to a jury finding that the apartment owner was partially responsible for the attack.
