Police contacted the victim, who said she had gone to the front desk and was followed when she returned to her room. She told the man to leave, but instead involved her in a sexual offense, court papers say. The reporting party then chased the suspect from the room.

Since he entered the room without consent he was charged with burglary. Since he had sexual contact with a woman unable to give consent because of a mental disability he was charged with indecent liberties, documents say.
