A civil action seeking to hold the federal government liable for the rape and murder of Manhattan graduate student Imette Saint-Guillen will go forward following a Brooklyn judge’s denial in part of the government’s motion to dismiss.
In a Federal Torts Claim Act claim, Ms. Saint-Guillen’s sister alleged that the U.S. Probation and Pretrial Service System failed to supervise and control Ms. Saint-Guillen’s assailant, Darryl Littlejohn, a convict with a long history of violent felonies and parole violations.
