ANKARA - A lawsuit has been filed against Muhammed Seyit S., who entered the hotel room of Kamişli in Kırıkkale and watched her sleeping. The man now faces up to 6 years in prison on charges of “violating dwelling immunity” and “sexual harassment.”

Electrical-electronics engineer Kardelen Kamişli went to Turkey's Central Anatolian province of Kırıkkale on a business trip on September 8 and spent the night in a hotel. Waking up in her room at around 2.40 in the morning, Kamişli saw a male stranger watching her while sleeping.
 
In response to this, the woman called the reception. The perpetrator took his jacket and shoes, which he had taken off, and left the room. Upon the criminal complaint of Kamişli, the Kırıkkale Chief Public Prosecutor's Office has launched an investigation about the incident.
 
It has been understood that the person who entered the hotel room at night was a man named Muhammed Seyit S. Accepted by the court, the bill of indictment prepared by the prosecutor's office has indicated that "the suspect acted intentionally during the related incident."
 
As reported by Mesut Hasan from Hürriyet newspaper, the bill of indictment has said, "Considering that entering a hotel room without the consent of the person constitutes the crime of violating dwelling immunity and that the suspect first entered the room of the plaintiff at night and watched her, then took off her shoes and jacket and insisted on not leaving the room afterwards, it has been concluded that the suspect acted with sexual motives and, therefore, he has committed the charged offenses of violating dwelling immunity and sexual harassment."
 
NON PROSECUYTION FOR THE HOTEL EMPLOYEE
 
Giving his statement as part of the investigation, suspect Muhammed Seyit S. said that as he was drunk, he could not remember anything.
 
The prosecutor's office decided to not prosecute reception worker Onur K. as he is not a public official.
