As an aside, If this story is true then it doesn't reflect well on the hotel if an employee tells another employeee on premises that she may have been raped, yet the police are only called by the alleged victim 12 hours later.

Did the bellhop keep it to himself, or mention it to management, who then chose to ignore that a possible crime had been committed in their facility? Maybe 'looking the other way' is an attractive selling point to their celebrity clientele, but I certainly wouldn't want to stay there. In essence, did the hotel view future earnings from celebrity guests as hush money?

I'd bet most places that cater to the Hollyweird crowd, like around Aspen/Vail, does its best to keep celebrity misbehavior quiet - even if state or federal laws were broken.

After all, the local sheriff is not going to give you a $100 tip for overlooking that dime bag left in the lavatory garbage, is he? Oliver Stone, Steven Spielberg and friends are not coming back to your establishment if you don't know how to keep your mouth shut.

I certainly wouldn't stay there, ever.

By not calling the police, the "bellman" has opened the hotel up to a HUGE lawsuit.
