Description
[75 N.Y.2d 478 Page 480] OPINION OF THE COURT [1, 2] This appeal, centering on the rape of a nine-year-old child in a New York City playground by
a Parks Department employee with a history of violent crime, poses a modern-day dilemma: assuring the public safety as well
as the rehabilitation of former felons to constructive lives within society. In this case we conclude that the City was properly
held liable for the child's injuries, and therefore affirm the Appellate Division order, but on narrower grounds.
