The molester was not the person checked into the room, rather a passing opportunist, who afterward proceeded to the public bar & commenced drinking.
The girl reported the incident to the Head Housekeeper, (words have meanings, "molest" does not mean "rape") Mine Host was consulted, the matter was deemed "police-worthy".
In the pub trade one must very carefully weigh up any matter before calling the police. (The police are not the friend of the law abiding citizen)
Mine Host called Triple-Zero.
The police are never far away in a small town. They are Two blocks from the Wayside Tavern.
The police took 55 minutes to arrive.
The culprit was by then very much finished his drinking, and had long gone. Perhaps the police will identify him, or even catch him one of these days.
Mine Host cannot help but wonder how it came to pass that a 30-man police station in a small town took 55 minutes, in broad daylight, to attend the molesting of a young woman, when the offender was lurking nearby juicily lounging around waiting to be arrested.

Laphroaig one of your faves eh? Do you know Bianca?
Don't mind Laphroaig, though I'm struggling to find mention of it in the post above.
Please, who or what is "Bianca"?
I'm sorry you're in Australia, Mine Host. I'm sorry I'm in present-day USA. Both magnificent countries rapidly turning to goo. In the old days, a minehost such as yourself would have dealt with the miscreant via a bat to the head and a throw into the gutter, police none the wiser (and probably secretly approving).
By the way, we all know you're a very important busy man, but more posts would be appreciated. Thanks in advance? (We also know there are innumerable tales to be told in hotels and hotel bar-restaurants).
Howdy from Texas!
Ms. J / Inconditus dropping in checking on ya.
Hi Juney, missed you so badly. Since you shut your blog, & Adhuna disappeared from the face of the earth, I've been heartbroken. *sob *sob *.
Some of us read your stuff to stay sane y'know!
Steve! I've missed the blog world too! Am thinking its time to go back into Inconditus life - lots on my mind but not sure the topics would interest you much! the party girl is long dead .. Anyways, I've been your silent reader all these years so I haven't forgotten YOU! Xxx
Oh my! That's pitiful! Alas.... we have similar problems in the US if not worse.
Obviously the molestor was a cop! D'uh! Shut-up and pay the fines!
