   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  13-3000
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - Hannibal   
   [PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Murphy and Kelly, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil Case - civil rights. Claims of due process violations against 
   officials who were told of threat of sexual assault against a minor and 
   who failed to inform the minor's parents before victim was assaulted, were 
   properly dismissed. Failure to protect an individual against private 
   violence does not violate the constitution and the exceptions did not 
   apply here. Victim was not in state custody, state did not create the 
   danger, and neither the victim nor the assaulter weres under state 
   supervision. Officials did not take affirmative action to increase danger 
   to victim. Officials were entitled to official immunity on state law 
   negligence claims because the duty to act was discretionary.
