I talked to one of the guys who works at Laurel Manor and that I know relativey well. He knew of the incident and here's the facts as he knows them (he took the report from a party who was IN the pool, not on the ladies in the shower or locker room.

There was a loud scream and a man came bolting out of the women's area. He was obviously very embarassed and left the scene in his golf cart immediately. He was told by a swimmer that the man had inadvertently entered the wrong area and immediately left. Both the woman in the shower and the one in the locker area were fine, just startled. There was NO groping, no sexual assault; just an unfortunate mistake so far as anyone can tell.

However, the story did get around the pool and, of course, like the old game of telephone got quite embellished. Since someone did in fact scream and there was in fact a male in the wrong area, it made it very easy to turn a mistake into a heinous act.

Not every act by a male is a sexual assault. Not every rumor (heck, make it MOST), is true even though there may be a grain of truth in them. Hope this helps clear up the mess.
