Hello, I had a friend go to an extreme haunted attraction that requires you to sign a waiver before entering. She was told by the owner that his actors wouldn't physically assault her or do anything physical to her at all and in the waiver it implied that everything physical would be on accident and not on purpose by the actors. But she was basically lied too.
She was assaulted physically by the actors, as well as choked, to the point to where she passed out 6 times, and the owner also threatened her life if she said anything. She also pressed charges and got into contact with a detective and he told her that there was nothing to do about it because she signed a waiver. My question is... is this true? Because I find this hard to believe based on the fact that she was lied to by the owner about her not being assaulted, physically purpose not to mention being choked to the point of passing out. Which she also said wasn't in the waiver and the owner didn't tell her that this would happen either when screening her before going through the tour. I just find it hard to believe that nothing legal can be done. She also has bruises all over body and she has bruises on her face as well. I just need advice whatever advice anyone can give me is appreciated thank you.
Forgot to post this, but the waiver also had a safe word that was supposed to stop the abuse, she was also assured by the owner that it would end the abuse, but he lied to her again and they continued to abuse her.
