A federal judge dismissed a lawsuit by a couple who claimed The Ritz-Carlton in Half Moon Bay served them water contaminated with semen. Judge Araceli Martinez-Olguin noted the absence of evidence directly linking the hotel to the contamination. The couple, who were celebrating their anniversary, alleged that an employee had deliberately contaminated a water bottle, which the wife drank from, but testing indicated the semen did not belong to the hotel staff. The court affirmed the couple failed to prove the contamination occurred on hotel premises, leading to the dismissal of the case.
Federal Judge Araceli Martinez-Olguin threw out the couple's lawsuit against The Ritz-Carlton, citing a lack of evidence linking the hotel to the semen contamination.
The couple's lawsuit, alleging sexual battery and negligence after discovering semen in a water bottle, could not prove it originated from The Ritz-Carlton.
