Blacksburg, VA asked in Criminal Law for Utah

Q: A hotel maid accuses a guest of lude behavior, while she was in his room cleaning. No PROOF. Crime? Charges?

He replied "no" to all accusations of lude bahavior, making the police very upset. After the thirty-ish minute conversation the officers turned to notice a crowd of guests had been standing directly behind them, listening to every false and embarrassing word. The man asked for more privacy to finish the conversation. The officer replied, would you like to ride with us, down to the station? He replied "no." After looking at each other, the officers went inside the hotel, then came back out to tell the man what they asked the manager to do. No arrest was made, but the officers pushed the hotel manager to act and say the guest was unwelcome; inevitably, the man was told to vacate or he would be trespassing. That afternoon, the police accompany him to the room, to collect his belongings, before escorting him off property and out of the room he had paid for. The man never got a return on investment for his last night paid. He spends the night across the street. Next day flies back home.

A: No question is posed. I see no criminal charges filed. If the issue is reparations you need to see a civil attorney about a lawsuit. If charges were filed I need information on those charges and where in the court process the case is currently.
