SAN DIEGO (AP) - A California appeals court has revived a lawsuit by a cleaning woman who was raped by a drunken guest for two hours at a San Diego hotel.
The San Diego Union-Tribune reports that the appellate panel on Thursday sent the case against Pacific Pearl Hotel Management back to a local court that had dismissed the suit.
The housekeeper was in a room at Wyndham Garden San Diego when the man entered, knocked her unconscious and assaulted and raped her for two hours.

Christopher Stevens was arrested a few days later, pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 65 years to life in prison.
Stevens wasn’t a hotel guest. The lawsuit said hotel employees saw him walking around with a beer but failed to immediately report him or kick him out.
