The other thing that is curious, is I don't see how Alaska would keep this guy around if their investigation revealed proof of sexual assault and drugging.

From the comments in the article, it seems Alaska was more interested in their state of intoxication and violations of rules regarding the use of alcohol. It sounds like they were both cleared in some way and returned to flying status. From the brief and the reporting on this, it sounds like they were probably allowed to return to duty because the Captain admitted they were not fit to fly and they didn't try to report for work the next day. Sounds like a suspension of some kind and a return to duty. But it is impossible to say for sure until you see the Alaska report and find out if they were disciplined for anything. I suspect if this isn't settled, you will see it in Alaskas response. Also hopefully the Captain and his counsel will have some kind of response giving his side of this as well.
