But I bet he already lost his job regardless of whether or not he did it.
Not to mention the way his family will look at him now...
English and LUVChild...your posts are like a breath of fresh air. Thankyou.
I would be curious to know what this guy's background is...as in, does he have a previous criminal record? It seems like a big step, going from law abiding to rapist over the course of a plane ride. He clearly has a lot to lose...not only his job, but his career, family, friends, and, well, his life as he knows it.
I hope that the investigation is very thorough. Accusing someone of rape is very serious and she should be interviewed and interrogated (nicely, it's an ugly word) to make sure that this is legitimate. She is a young girl...could she have thought it would be cool to "make it" with a pilot in uniform in the airport, but then, during the activity, or immediately afterwords, get scared and think, "what am I doing?!" Being young and not knowing what else to do, she cries rape afterwords to try and make the problem go away? Now daddy doesn't have to know I had sex (consensual) with him.
OR, it was consensual in the beginning, then she started having second thoughts and tried to stop, but he, ahem, finished. In this case, they are both telling the truth...neither telling the full truth. If this is the case, he went too far and the penalty is having a rap sheet with the word "rape" on it.
Let's hope they get to the bottom of this. Unfortunately, the only person on this guys side is his lawyer. Public opinion, the media, and other people who are involved are on her side.
Get the real story, then let him pick up the pieces of his shattered life OR pick up the soap-on-a-rope.
