STAMFORD, Conn. (Aug. 14) - A Connecticut hotel where a woman was raped at

gunpoint in front of her children says the victim was careless and

negligent.

The papers filed last month in Superior Court by the Stamford Marriott

Hotel & Spa say the victim " failed to exercise due care for her own safety and

the safety of her children and proper use of her senses and facilities. "

Desmarais, The Stamford Advocate

Fricker is serving a 20-year prison sentence for raping a woman in the

garage of the Stamford Marriott Hotel & Spa.

Prosecutors say Fricker assaulted the woman in her minivan in the

hotel's parking garage in front of her two children, then ages 3 and 5.

Fricker is now serving 20 years in prison.

The hotel's lawyers were responding to a lawsuit claiming the hotel failed

to prevent the 2006 attack.

In court filings, the woman's lawyers have denied those allegations.
