Judge Rules CGL Policy Off the Hook for $22M Sexual Assault Claim

Originally published by Marisa Jeffrey.

U.S. District Judge Judge David Godbey has ruled that Century Surety Co. was off the hook for a $22 million judgment awarded to a woman who filed suit against the owner of Pastazios Pizza Inc. for sexual assault. 

In April 2011, the owner of Pastazios (Ajredin “Danny” Deari) served the victim several rounds of alcoholic beverages under the pretenses of a job interview. The victim eventually lost consciousness and later awoke in a hotel room, where Deari sexually assaulted her.  She was ultimately able to lock herself in the bathroom and Deari later fled the scene.
