>I'm not sure how is this possible - do you really have a legal system there? I mean, guy is alone in a locked room; he's on his own (I assume the room is paid for) with an expectation of privacy. He may have as well imagined a lady between himself and the bike, and wouldn't divulge the name. Nobody was hurt, no damage was done, nothing happened - and he ends up as a sex offender? Isn't the master key to be used only in emergencies - and as there was obviously no emergency whatsoever, didn't the ladies have the duty to say "oops... excuse us... sorry for the inconvenience... have a nice day" and vanish? What gives them the right?


Thats what I think as well. Its in private, not harming anyone else. He should sue the hotel or wherever he was staying.
