I do not profess to know. Unlike the speculator/ (self labelled experts) here. One thing though I'd be interested to know why the speculators believe she should be sacked..... ? for being dragged? almost comatose? into the office That would certainly appear to be unfair. That is the inference that others on these threads are making .... that a person with ill-intent, breached security to have his way with a pissed woman. So addled, that she was not responsible for her actions... apparently only he was. I have mentioned that the woman herself made the case that she was sufficiently, compos mentis at the point of entering the building as she said that she thought it was "weird" that he was going in to the office on some pretext. It will be one or the other. She claims she was with it enough to make decisions yet appears to have a different ending to the story. If she felt she was raped and went part way to pressing charges and then decided not to go ahead with the charges would you have sacked her for being a victim at the time of her allegation? She asked for privacy in regard to the dealings.... maybe that is why others were not informed directly about the (non) case in the interests of her privacy that she requested. It is not on to speculate (after the fact) about what should have been done. What was done, was! Her privacy was respected in regard to the matter. Apparently a number of people are alleged to have known about the incident and that I can believe for anyone having worked in an office environment would testify of rumour mills. If she was a willing participant, yes, I would have recommended sacking her too. If the woman withdrew the police action (upon which she founded her allegation and subsequently withdrawn) that is not the responsibility of the PM to splash it all about the shop especially as he would not have been notified because of respect for the woman's privacy that she had initially requested. Who was to know that her claim was to be withdrawn...... Could this the cover up and maintain ones job?

I guess I'll put a wild theory out there. Imagine you're a manger of a division in a large company that is facing a rape allegation that has been reported to police. You then have a meeting with the alleged victim, talk her down and convince her to withdraw the complaint which would be damaging to you and the company. In exchange for the alleged victim's compliance you assure the them the accused will be sacked. You then proceed to find a reason for the accused to be sacked.
