Just after midnight on Dec. 9, 2010, Kristie Love posted on TripAdvisor about the Iberostar Paraiso Maya, a Mexican beach resort between Cancun and Playa del Carmen. In the post's title, Love included three things: the name of the resort, the date of her stay, and the word "Rape."

After a night out with friends, Love, now 35, wrote of how she went back to her hotel room to find that her electronic key card had been deactivated. On her way back to the lobby, Love stopped to ask for directions from a uniformed guard. That guard then raped her, she said. Later on, the hotel staff would not call the police.
