David Andrew Douglas, 49, a restaurant dishwasher, drank a bottle of brandy while he was baby-sitting Shelby. When he found that she had eaten the icing, Douglas went into a drunken rage.

The plaintiffs’ attorney, Susan Burke, said she plans an appeal.

“We are surprised, but nonetheless disappointed” by the ruling, she said in an email.

In one example, an Army Reservist said two male colleagues raped her in Iraq and videotaped the attack. S
