Since I've already seen a disgusting amount of victim blaming on Lemmy in this particular case, I've pulled the following out to highlight:

According to the complaint, Danbom and colleagues attended an Amazon-hosted event with an open bar before continuing the evening at karaoke bars. Amazon paid for the gatherings, the lawsuit alleges. Danbom and Simonte flirted and joked earlier in the evening, according to the filing. At the end of the night, he kissed her and persuaded her to let him accompany her to her hotel room.

The complaint alleges Simonte raped Danbom in the early hours of 28 October after she explicitly refused. It says he ignored her protests. Danbom reported the incident to the New York Police Department (NYPD) the following day and underwent a sexual assault forensic examination. She also gave officers a condom that Simonte allegedly left behind, according to the lawsuit.

The complaint says a detective monitored a subsequent telephone conversation between the pair. During the call, Simonte reportedly said he was 200% sure they had not had sexual intercourse. He later told police he was too drunk to remember what happened, according to the filing.

Danbom notified Amazon's human resources department two days after the alleged assault. She also told friends and her therapist about the incident, the complaint states. Amazon placed Simonte on a leave of absence for several months while investigating the allegations, according to Danbom's account. The company ultimately concluded that Simonte had not violated its policies.

The lawsuit alleges Amazon deemed Danbom's account unfounded because of insufficient evidence, treating the matter as a dispute involving conflicting accounts. Danbom disputes that conclusion, alleging investigators failed to interview witnesses who could support her account or collect other potentially relevant evidence. She also accuses them of asking inappropriate questions, including whether she had shouted no and whether she had done enough to stop the alleged assault.
