It's pretty crazy nobody said anything sooner. The only theory I can come up with is the idea of "keep quiet and don't cause drama" is pretty ingrained in a lot of us. So maybe the woman who saw him when she was in the shower just caught a quick glimpse of him, not enough time to gauge that he was not an 18-22 year old, and assumed he was there with someone who lives in the house (yes, I know most houses have rules against that sort of thing, but let's not pretend it never happens). She didn't want to risk the embarrassment of waking up the whole floor because someone's boyfriend/hook-up was in the bathroom.

Sort of along the lines of how sometimes child abuse is observed by neighbors, but not reported, because people don't want to take the risk that they are wrong and cause the parents to be arrested and/or kids to be removed based on their own actions.
