Can’t find one iota of anything that seems to remotely suggest that any locks were involved & esp any under the control of the victim.
Citation?
The doors were left unlocked by the employer. The offices had been moved from a more secure area removed from the convicts, into access with the population. The victim had nothing to do with that decision.
To equate it to your “locker” example, it would be like an employer getting rid of lockers all together, and asking people to keep everything in the drawers of a community desk that everyone can access.
Their claim against the victim is that she contributed by speaking to Best at all, but he was entering the area under the pretense of needing to empty the trash. She was only there for four weeks when the attack happened, and had already complained to a correctional officer that Best made her uncomfortable.
At Best’s trial, the victim told the jury that he had entered her office repeatedly on the pretense of emptying her trash. There was testimony regarding her communication with one of the suit’s defendants, Rockview correctional officer Kenneth Shilling, about Best’s presence, with the 24-year-old woman asking if Best was supposed to be in her office.
The state admits that one Facebook conversation, which was evidence in Best’s rape trial, occurred, but denies that the victim had said she didn’t want him in her office and that other conversations occurred in which she said Best made her uncomfortable.
