Federal judge dismisses Lauren Spierer civil suit

A federal judge dismissed a negligence lawsuit Tuesday against two of the men who were seen with missing IU student Lauren Spierer when she disappeared in June 2011.

U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Walton Pratt, of the Southern District of Indiana, dismissed the complaint against Corey Rossman and Jason Rosenbaum, according to court ?documents.

Rob and Charlene Spierer alleged in their suit, which was filed last year, that the two men owed their daughter a “duty of care” when they reportedly provided the already intoxicated 20-year-old with alcohol and allowed her to leave an apartment complex, where the men lived, by herself. Attorneys for Rossman and Rosenbaum maintained the allegations were not true.

Lauren Spierer, who has yet to be located following exhaustive searches through a three-year span, was a sophomore at the time of her disappearance June 3, 2011.
