On Valentine's Day 2021, a hardworking mother became the victim of an egregious violation of privacy and trust when a delivery driver with a known history of misconduct exploited his position to commit acts of voyeurism. The driver's employer had been aware of his concerning behavioral pattern but failed to take appropriate action to prevent further incidents, leading to this devastating breach of trust and privacy.
The perpetrator used his routine delivery duties to build a false sense of security with the victim, ultimately violating her privacy by taking inappropriate photographs without consent. This deplorable invasion left the victim feeling humiliated, violated, and traumatized.
The Law Office of Sean M. Wilson provided compassionate support and legal guidance during this deeply personal matter. Our South Carolina civil litigation attorneys conducted a thorough investigation that revealed the employer's negligent retention of an employee with documented inappropriate behavior, directly contributing to our client's suffering.
Initially, the employer attempted to minimize their responsibility for their employee's actions. However, through persistent legal effort and careful documentation of the company's failure to protect against known risks, our legal team secured a settlement that provided our client with both compensation and validation of her experience.
