“…the lawsuit filed in San Mateo Superior Court alleges that Straits owners failed to provide a background or 
reference check for Guicoy that could have shed light on his “mental instability and propensity toward sexual assault…”
A Foster City woman is suing a restaurant where a dishwasher attempted to rape her as she waited to use the restroom on New Years Eve 2011. Now Mary Hagan, 35, has filed a $1 million lawsuit against Straits in Burlingame, claiming it could have performed a background or reference check on Jose Mauricio Guicoy before hiring him.
Guicoy allegedly grabbed Hagan and began pulling her into a closet with his pants unzipped, reported the San Mateo County Times. She was able to fight him off.
Guicoy pleaded no contest to sexual battery, and was sentenced a month later to two years in prison.
