DAMAGE725 is correct.............................. just said it different.


Cartman, the principal of "respondeat superior" you bought up applies while performing expected work duties during the course of normal employment times (for simple example, an employee has a traffic accident and does property damage or injury while using a company vehicle and during work hours while in the course of his/her normal expected duties). It does not extend outside those duties of employment (or "work place") except in certain cases for certain "career fields" such as police, military, medical, etc... those things where there is a legal obligation towards society of some sort by virtue of training and (or) unique expertise. Some states hold their state government employees responsible 24 hours a day, and for the U.S. government an employee is responsible 24 hours a day.

Clearly (if things are as alleged in the complaint) Hague was not performing normal expected work duties and what the alleged offenses are were performed by him intentionally discarding the obligation of duty and abusing his position of trust (the postion of trust he abused outside the scope of his duties). "respondeat superior" also does not apply for crimes because crimes are not considered in the scope of employment duties.
