Looks like it's Disney's fault for not replacing the Space Mountain track.

I'll be interested to hear more details.

Originally Posted By Christi22222 This is a very bizarre story. I would never ever imply that a woman is at fault for being raped. But it does concern me that you wouldn't be more pro-active in securing your and your children's safety. The whole interaction was a risk, especially if you feel the need to say you won't trade sexual favors! However, why would you stay in a room anywhere with a man who continually tries to disrobe you against your will? Why would you fall asleep again? Why weren't you at the front desk right then asking for help? It was not even smart to let him in at all, but I guess if he had been nice so far, she didn't have concerns yet. There must be some very compelling evidence if he is already booked and they are going straight to finding other victims. I'll be interested to hear more info, although this is incredibly creepy and disgusting on many levels.
Originally Posted By FerretAfros >>...especially if you feel the need to say you won't trade sexual favors!<< That's what threw me off. If I was offered something like that, from someone who said that they respected how hard I had to work, I think that would be the last thing on my mind. Yah, it might be there lurking in the shadows, but I don't think it would be a strong enough thought to get me to actually say something about it. The story also gets a little confusing when they get in the room. The kids seem to disappear and it seemed to go into some sort of time warp, where the details of what actually happened are lost and mixed up. First, if there was someone in my room, and I didn't want them there, I would be on the phone right away. Even if he too their key, it would be very easy to go to the front desk and explain the situation and get a new one and get the lock changed so he couldn't get back in. And I'm picturing her falling asleep with jeans on after a long day in the park; who actually does that? You might nod off for a second or two, but most people change into something a little more comfortable before they go to sleep. It would be some time around changing that I would contact the front desk, if he refused to leave. In all fairness though, it does sound a little sketchy from both sides of the story. It's a strange situation and a strange story, and I feel like neither side is being completely honest.

Let alone fall asleep numerous times with him in the room, only to be awaken by him trying to remove her pants. Finally, be it woman or man, someone takes your ATM card and room key and you DON'T immediately go to the front desk and alert them and the authorities?! And this someone allegedly sexually assaulted you?!! And you go back to another park the next morning BEFORE you contact the authorities?!!!!! I'm sure the suspect is guilty of something far beyond stupidity, but the supposed victim sounds just as suspicious.
Originally Posted By SpokkerJones "In the first place, why would any woman in her right mind accept a discounted stay at WDW from a complete stranger?" Single mother. Likely poor. She was fishing for discounts. <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1360466/Disney-World-employee-Wilbert-Brookins-tried-rape-single-mother.html?ito=feeds-newsxml" target="_blank">http://www.dailymail.co.uk/new...-newsxml</a> "She made a phone reservation around a month before, telling Brookins she was a single unemployed mother and was using her tax return to pay for the holiday." She said upfront she would not exchange sex for the favor, which is an odd thing to bring up, but perhaps she had been in this situation before. "And as others have brought up, no woman I know, would even let this guy in the room if she didn't want him there. Let alone fall asleep numerous times with him in the room, only to be awaken by him trying to remove her pants." She may be wishy washy, but wishy washy women don't deserve to be raped. Indecisive women don't deserve to be raped. "Finally, be it woman or man, someone takes your ATM card and room key and you DON'T immediately go to the front desk and alert them and the authorities?! And this someone allegedly sexually assaulted you?!! And you go back to another park the next morning BEFORE you contact the authorities?!!!!!" Victims of sexual assault are embarrassed and unsure of what to do next. They often blame themselves for what happened some never report it. By condemning women for this you do your small part in making victims of sexual assault even more embarrassed, as if they hesitate for even one second, they'll be met with criticisms upon speaking out. "Why did you wait so long to report this?!?! LIAR!" It's not out of this world to think that these thoughts would be racing through her mind.
