*”Juana Melara, a housekeeper in Southern California, believes a panic button could have gotten her out of a frightening situation several years ago when she was working in Cerritos, Calif.
Ms. Melara said she was cleaning a bathtub in a hotel room when she turned to see a guest staring at her. She asked him to leave the room and went on her break. When she returned to her housekeeping cart, she said, the man was walking in the hallway toward her with his penis pulled through his pants.”*
It’s pretty pathetic that it should come to that but at the same time it’ll provide actual hard data has to how often these things take place.
The article gave a good accounting of the issue. Besides, why not use the principle to err on the side of caution? We obviously have not been down the sexual harassment road enough for people to get the message.
