A Henderson teenager and her parents have filed a lawsuit alleging she was sexually assaulted by multiple partygoers while incapacitated at a house party last November, and that the homeowners, their HOA and a hired security guard all failed to stop it. The family is suing Tina and Vipul Shah, the homeowners of a residence on the 2200 block of Feathertree Avenue, along with The Estates at Green Valley Ranch Owners Association and its security contractor, St. Moritz Security Services.
The lawsuit, filed October 1 in District Court, accuses the Shahs, the HOA and St. Moritz of gross negligence, civil conspiracy, aiding and abetting, and infliction of emotional distress, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal. It also names unnamed assailants as respondents, accusing them of assault, battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress. The suit seeks more than $100,000 in damages.
According to the complaint, roughly 75 to 100 high-school-aged guests attended the party, where alcohol and marijuana were present. The girl, identified in court filings as Jane Doe, became severely intoxicated and incapacitated, and multiple partygoers allegedly assaulted and sexually assaulted her while she was unconscious. The lawsuit also alleges that an assault may have been captured on a phone or other recording device by partygoers or bystanders.
A Frantic Search and a Hospital Trip
The girl's parents say they called Tina Shah after 9 p.m. to check on their daughter, and the lawsuit alleges Shah did not call back as she had agreed to. The parents arrived at the Feathertree Avenue home around 9:30 p.m. and found their daughter unconscious and unresponsive. According to the complaint, they discovered she was not wearing underwear and had semen and grass on her legs and genital area, with bruising above her pubic bone. She was hospitalized for acute alcohol poisoning and, per the lawsuit, did not regain consciousness until the following day. The lawsuit states she does not know the names of her alleged attackers.
Conflicting Accounts of What Tina Shah Knew
The lawsuit alleges Tina Shah said she summoned law enforcement to disperse the party and began concealing alcohol containers. But the complaint also states that Shah said she was not aware of anyone drinking at the party, and that she told a 911 dispatcher the gathering was simply high-schoolers outside her home who were loud, rowdy and refusing to leave — with no alcohol or drugs at the house. Henderson police dispatch recorded four calls about the party on the night of November 8, 2025: two from anonymous male callers and two from Shah herself, per the lawsuit. Contemporaneous callers reported underage drinking, marijuana use and an estimated 50 teenagers between the ages of 15 and 17 at the gathering.
A records discrepancy complicates the picture. The Henderson Police Department provided the Review-Journal with only three 911 calls from that night — two from anonymous callers and one from Shah — rather than the four reflected in dispatch records cited by the lawsuit. The department did not respond to multiple attempts by the paper to clarify the gap. The lawsuit states that a report was made to Henderson police and that the case remained open, but the department told the Review-Journal it has no report of a sexual assault connected to the Shahs' address.
HOA and Security Firm Accused of Failing to Act
The complaint alleges the homeowners association failed to adopt adequate security policies and failed to enforce covenants against nuisance activity, and that St. Moritz Security Services failed to screen guests or protect against prohibited activity while guarding the community entrance. The lawsuit claims no meaningful effort was made to identify, screen or limit the underage guests admitted into the community that night. Plaintiffs allege a pattern of large teenage parties had previously been hosted at the Shahs' address, making the alleged assault foreseeable — and argue the Shahs violated Nevada's social-host liability laws, which can expose adults to civil and criminal liability when a minor consumes alcohol on their property.
Nevada law generally shields licensed alcohol vendors from civil suits over accidents caused by adult customers, but private social hosts face a different standard. Per a legal explainer from Ladah Law, a social host can face civil liability when they knowingly serve alcohol to someone under 21 who then causes an accident that injures someone else. Whether that standard applies to the facts alleged in this lawsuit has not been established by any court.
Family's Attorney Points to Lasting Harm
The suit also alleges the girl suffered additional harm from the possibility that footage of the assault was recorded and disseminated to third parties, though attorney Corrine Murphy noted that any such recording may not necessarily depict content that is sexual in nature. Murphy told the Review-Journal the case seeks accountability, saying her client was let down by other adults and institutions. Tina and Vipul Shah, the HOA and St. Moritz Security Services did not respond to the newspaper's request for comment. The allegations remain unproven claims in a civil complaint.
