Four insurance companies, including Citizens Insurance Co. of America, Massachusetts Bay Insurance Co., Westfield Insurance, and Starr Indemnity & Liability, have reached a settlement with the owners and management of a Hampton Inn in Albany, New York, in a case involving a woman who was secretly videotaped in the shower in 2015. The terms of the settlement were not disclosed, and attorneys in the case could not be reached for comment. The woman, known only as Jane Doe, had filed a lawsuit seeking $100 million in damages after an employee of the hotel filmed her with a hidden camera and attempted to extort thousands of dollars from her. The incident was widely reported in the media and led to a lengthy legal battle over the hotel’s liability.
