That's the problem with this thread. It is predicated on a news article that consists only of accusations.
We usually do better in Rumors & News with accidents, incidents, and drunk pilots caught at check-in, because there is at least a modicum of fact.
Having said that, I trust justice will prevail for the principals in this episode.
If, in fact, the F/O was raped by the captain, I weep for her that the layover hotel did not become a crime scene at the time. If, in fact, he raped her and that was proven in a criminal court of law, he should have been sentenced to a very long jail term.
But, none of this happened on a timely basis.
We are now reduced to a civil action, which in cases like this, are always suspect, unlike a criminal proceeding with conviction.
