A woman staying at Montauk Manor on a business trip reported sexual assault early Saturday morning. After drinks and dinner at the Hilltop restaurant, she told police, she and her co-workers went back to the room they were sharing, where they played card games and continued to drink. The woman and her boss began arguing; the fight escalated quickly, and she told police "she was being ganged-up on by her co-workers." She packed up, left the room, and called her father to say she was coming home. A male colleague stopped her in the lobby, she told police, "asking her if she was okay," and she handed him her phone. The man "proceeded to talk to her dad," according to the report, and "both parties agreed that she will stay in the boys' " room "to avoid more arguing." The woman said she remembered nothing more after giving the man her phone, until she woke up "on the couch of [his] room with her pants off and him sitting next to her." She grabbed her bag and went to the lobby to tell the manager, who phoned police. She refused several times to press charges, police said, saying "she just wanted to go home."
