Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey affirmed the Appellate Division, holding that a spouse who knows or should know of her husband's propensity to sexually abuse children owes a duty to take reasonable steps to prevent or warn of the abuse, and that breach of that duty is a proximate cause of the injuries. The Court also found the summary‑judgment ruling premature and remanded for further discovery.
