Christine Dayman, a Toronto area music teacher, says a security guard at a Dominican Republic resort raped her and the hotel "did nothing" to investigate — an occurrence she believes is all too common.

Toronto lawyer Loretta Merritt, who has specialized in the civil litigation of sexual assault cases for three decades, estimates that her office has heard from about half a dozen women in the past 18 months who say they were sexually assaulted at a resort destination — most often by a hotel employee.

After her story was published a representative for Bahia Principe Hotels & Resorts contacted Go Public to say the security guard has been fired.
