Court of Appeals of New York


RJC REALTY HOLDING CORP. v. REPUBLIC FRANKLIN INS. CO., 26

Defendant is obligated to defend and indemnify its insured, a beauty salon/health spa, in an action alleging sexual assault by the insured's employee; since the masseur's actions were not plaintiff's actions for purposes of the respondeat superior doctrine, they were an "accident" within the coverage of the policy.
