When you file a lawsuit against the deep-pockets company that employees the co-worker, instead of filing rape charges against the alleged rapist, it raises questions.
All these questions...lead to doubts. These are not unreasonable questions to ask, in my opinion.
Wow. If that’s not some of the worst victim blaming I’ve ever read I don’t know what is. That is some world class d-baggery on display right there.
Or maybe, and this may be hard to grasp, she was embarrassed, terrified, traumatized, afraid of retribution, afraid of being labeled in a mostly male pilot cadre, becoming an outcast, career implications, family/martial implications. Pick any of the two.
Then maybe after being tormented by it for a few months in her own mind she decided to speak out. It’s well documented that most cases of sexual assault go unreported for any and all of the reasons above, plus many more.
But yeah, she’s totally suspect for how she handled it.
