This is an action for personal injuries and property damage allegedly suffered by plaintiff as a result of defendant’s negligence and wrongful conduct in creating and permitting dangerous conditions in an automobile parking structure at 140 South Doheny Drive, Beverly Hills. It was alleged that as a proximate result of such conduct plaintiff was subjected to a criminal attack upon her person on July 28, 1966. It was also claimed that the parking area was so constructed and maintained as to encourage therein the presence of persons of degenerate tendencies, that on the occasion in question defendant’s employee customarily in attendance was. absent from his duty station, and that these conditions gave rise to or permitted the assault which caused the injuries and damage in question. The answer by general and specific denials put in issue the essential elements of the cause of action and affirmatively alleged the defenses of contributory negligence and assumption of risk. The jury returned a verdict in favor of defendant, and judgment was entered thereon. Plaintiff’s motion for a new trial was denied. She has appealed from the judgment.
