Woman Sues Nightclub Over Alleged Assault Streamed on Facebook

A woman who was seen being sexually assaulted by a man at an Atlanta nightclub in a Facebook Live video on January 19, is suing the venue alleging its security team did not adequately protect her from the attack.

WSB-TV reported that an attorney for the woman—Jasmine Eiland, 30, who spoke publicly for the first time at a news conference on Tuesday—claims Opera nightclub had deployed only one-fourth of the security that should have been working the night his client says she was assaulted. At the news conference, Eiland said “I’m gong to continue to fight. I’m a victim but I’m a survivor as well. I just want to thank everybody.”
