A couple is claiming that their stay at the Ritz-Carlton in Half Moon Bay turned into a nightmare when the woman unknowingly drank water contaminated with semen, reports Insider

The incident allegedly occurred last November and the lawsuit was recently filed in October, reported by the Mercury News. The victims, identified as John and Jane Doe, checked into the California hotel for a four-night stay.

According to the lawsuit, the couple ordered water bottles from the front desk after dinner. Jane Doe placed one on her bedside table and consumed it later that night.

“She opened it, took a drink, and knew immediately that something was wrong with the liquid she had just swallowed,”

the lawsuit states. The water was returned to the hotel security and management representatives who were asked, by the husband, to contact authorities.

“The Ritz-Carlton subsequently sent the water bottle to a laboratory for analysis, and the testing confirmed that the water contained semen,”

the lawsuit says. 

The suit claims that the Ritz-Carlton refuses to give the water or the test results to law enforcement and

“will not disclose the identities of the hotel employees on duty that day so that their backgrounds and criminal histories can be scrutinized.”

The couple is seeking a jury trial, alleging sexual battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligence, and loss of consortium.
