Ja.  The ironic part of it is that the penalty to the hotel chain for
(somehow) allowing or facilitating the criminal act is proportional to the
salary potential of the victim.  Think of all those topless photos of
Aboriginal people National Geographic published in the 1950s.  Good chance
the models had no idea what they were signing up for.  I know, that's
different of course.

Well now that is an idea.

There is that.

promises to *not* put his nude video on the net.  :)

This leads back to the original observation in a way.  Cases like these can
only become far more common as more proles discover that video devices can
be hidden where they will never be discovered, activated by a phone call,
video collected by Skype, then the low-cost device abandoned afterward.  The
potential damage is proportional somehow to the value of the video, which is
proportional to the hotness of the victim.  Now these kinds of court cases
become a beauty contest.  

BillK, you hit it right on: if I were to bring a similar suit, it would be
laughed out of court, along with insults.  I can just imagine what the judge
would say.  Imagine this same victim except aged 40 yrs.  Imagine this same
victim, same crime except that she has had nude photos made professionally
but not published.  Same victim, same crime, victim is a news producer
rather than a sports desk anchor.
