 Warren versus the District of Columbia, March 16, 1975. Caroline Warren and Joan Talaferro and Marine Douglas, her four-year-old daughter who lived on another floor were awakened by the back door being broken down by two men, later identified as Marvin Kent and James Morse. They entered Douglas's second floor room where Kent forced Douglas to sodomize him and then raped her. Warren and Talaferro heard Douglas's screams from the floor below and they called the police. They waited outside and actually watched a police car do a slow drive by past the back of the house. Another officer knocked on the front door but left when no one answered. So they called the police a second time. Well, that 911 call got miscategorized as an investigate trouble and was never even dispatched. A little while later, after the screaming stop, they thought the police were there. They called down, which ended up alerting Kent of their presence. For the next 14 hours, they were raped, robbed, beaten and forced to commit sexual acts upon one another and the four-year-old daughter was there. After this all half, they ended up recovering to the police department. The court held that the police are not liable for failure to provide adequate police protection.
