Abstract
The California Supreme Court held that the first situation involves such a powerful use of authority that the city employing the officer can be held vicariously liable for his sexual torts. However, in Doe 1 v. City of Murrieta, the California Court of Appeal decided that the City cannot be held vicariously liable in the second situation.
