Pachyderm, I wasn't intending to lay judgment, just stating that it wouldn't surprise me if it were true. I prefer to rely on the judicial system and legal process to deal with these things. I acknowledge I don't know all the facts. But considering the immense amount of harassment and sexism I've experienced in my career and never been able.to report or.say anything about it, I do tend to give the victim the benefit of the doubt. However, I do believe suspensions with pay are in order while investigations are held.

If the employer held a investigation and found enough evidence to decide to terminate the employee, then I feel there was likely something to it.
