Summary
On June 1, 1991, Jenny Bartley entered into a lease for apartment #6 in University Studio Apartments in Fayetteville, Arkansas. In the early morning hours of June 21, 1991, two men, one of whom was another tenant of University Studios, knocked on Ms. Bartley’s door. Because her basic push-button door lacked windows, a peephole, or any auxiliary locking device, Ms. Bartley opened the door to them without first checking to see who they were. The two men “illegally and forcefully” entered Ms. Bartley’s apartment, without her consent, and repeatedly raped and sexually assaulted her.
