the Sofitel incident

Well I think it says something nice about New York, that a maid in a hotel with $3,000 a night rooms isn't intimidated by a guest who happens to be the head of the IMF. At least not intimidated enough to allow him to have sex with her, and not too intimidated to report that he forced her. Obviously, from what we're hearing, many women before her, even those with higher status, were intimidated by this creep--none had reported him to the police before this, apparently. So New York's spirit isn't dead at least. Hooray.
