Her 19-year-old son told her that his Airbnb host in Madrid had locked him
in the fourth-floor apartment where he was supposed to be staying and
removed the key. The host was still there, he said, rattling knives around
in the kitchen drawer and pressing him to submit to a sexual act. He begged
his mother for help.
When she called Airbnb, its employees would not give her the address and
would not call the police. Instead, they gave her a number for the Madrid
police and told her to ask the police to call the company for the address.
But the number led to a recording in Spanish that kept disconnecting her,
she said, and when she repeatedly called back her Airbnb contact, the calls
went straight to voice mail.
According to her son, Jacob Lopez, he was sexually assaulted that night.
Eventually, he persuaded his host to free him. He returned home to
Massachusetts and is in trauma therapy.
His host, who was born male but is living as a woman, denied Mr. Lopez’s
accusations. She denied threatening him and said that the sex act was
consensual and that he is transphobic. If she is right, filing a false
police report and telling the story publicly would be an unlikely way to
bury a regrettable experience.
