A U.S. Air Force major from Mississippi and his wife are suing Marriott International for $160 million after he says he awoke horrified inside of a North Carolina hotel room to a perfect stranger in his bed performing oral sex on him.

According to the 16-page complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of North Carolina, the alleged assault took place on April 8, 2022, at the Marriott Hotel on West Trade Street in Charlotte.

The victim was not identified in the complaint, although he has named his accused assailant: Jermaine Lamont Peay, 28.

Arrest records for the Mecklenburg County Sheriff’s Office confirm Peay was arrested in May 2022 and charged with felony larceny, burglary first degree, second degree forcible sex offense and larceny after breaking and entering.
