"The woman, referred to in court documents as "Jane Doe," also alleged the university was negligent, failed to take adequate security measures, and "placed her in an unusually vulnerable position." URI "knew, or through the exercise of reasonable care should have known, that its specific design of unisex restrooms which lacked reasonable privacy or safeguards created an unreasonable risk of harm to the Plaintiff and other students," the complaint argues."
"But according to the complaint, she soon noticed that the man had gotten into an adjoining shower. Under the stall divider, she could see he was still wearing his clothes and sneakers. She looked up and allegedly saw the man holding a cellphone camera over the divider, at which point she "began to yell and confronted the male individual who stated that he was sorry and fled the scene," according to the lawsuit."
The student, a freshman in Adams Hall, entered the fourth-floor all-gender bathroom and noticed an unfamiliar man enter ahead of her. Her roommate left and the student got into the shower, later observing the man in an adjoining shower wearing clothes and sneakers and holding a cellphone camera over the divider. She yelled, the man apologized and fled, and she reported the incident to police and identified him in a photo lineup. The student alleges the university failed to notify others, lacked reasonable privacy safeguards in unisex restrooms, acted negligently and defamed her. URI declined to comment on pending litigation.
