Susan Ho filed a suit against the casino alleging false imprisonment.
In
October 2011, she was visiting Las Vegas as part of the Advanced Travel
Bowling Tournament. She took a break from bowling and decided to use
the women’s restroom at the casino. There, a fellow female bowler
addressed her, and the woman explained she was in the correct restroom.
However,
when Ho exited the restroom, she found five or six casino employees
blocking other people from entering the room. She then was accused of
being a man who was spying on women in the restroom.
According
to Ho, the employees then publically humiliated her, and almost forced
her to remove her shirt to prove that she was biologically female.
However, the woman’s life parther’s son offered to bring her documents to prove the casino staff she was telling the truth.
When
on the next day Ho met with the bowling tournament manager, and with
the casino manager, the latter insisted that a language barrier was to
blame for the mix-up. The casino manager then said she had not reported
the incident to anyone higher up in the chain of command at the casino.
Ho is suing for punitive damages alleging violation of state law, assault, false imprisonment and negligence.
