If I remember right, at least one of the original posts on TA, now deleted, made reference to the accused having been accused of this once before while in the employ of ADM. Maybe that has something to do with PADI's actions, maybe not. I doubt PADI did any sort of independent investigation. More likely, as was said above, this was a straw that broke the camel's back.
Having both prosecuted and defended a variety of sex cases, including strangers, "dates," adults and unfortunately even children, I can say that sex cases are a different breed of cat in the criminal justice system and are both hard to prosecute and hard to defend. Witnesses, besides those for character and other than the complainant and the accused, are hard to come by. Emotions run high on both sides. The old adage, "Everybody lies about sex" often applies in one way or the other.
I suggest we just let it play out in court, although that may take a while. I work in one of the speediest justice systems in the country, and there's no way a case like this would have a solid trial date a mere two months after it was reported. On the other hand, I have no idea how the Belize justice system works except to say that it has a lousy reputation (surprise!) and is based on the British model, of which I know little except for episodes of Barnum & The Bailey and Rake.
Even then I doubt we'll have what amounts to some sort of closure, but at least we may have more information than we do now.
