Dream Hotel Was a Nightmare for Rape Victim

NY1 is reporting that a 28-year-old female guest sleeping in her room at NYC's posh Dream Hotel woke up to a hotel employee raping her. Sources say the woman and her boyfriend had returned to the Dream Hotel after a night of drinking and had difficulties getting into their room. A hotel employee was sent to assist them and that employee now stands accused of rape. It is not yet clear if the alleged rapist reentered the room or if he remained inside after assisting the couple.

The Dream Hotel bills itself as "13 stories of surreal luxury, playful attitude, and intuitive service in the fashionable heart of Midtown Manhattan." It is also the home of the Chopra Center & Spa, an "oasis of health and healing" designed by Dr. Deepak Chopra.

As more details are revealed, it will be interesting to see if the accused rapist has a previous criminal record that was either ignored or not discovered by the Dream Hotel.
