XIAMEN Airline said yesterday that it is investigating allegations from a female employee that she was raped by her superior in the company's Beijing office.
Wang Yan, a ground worker of the carrier's Beijing office, said on the Internet on Sunday that Cao Zhijun, deputy chief of the office, forced her to have sex with him after dinner in a hotel last month. She also posted photos of Cao and herself with disheveled hair and tears.
"I was desperate and wanted to end my life at that time," Wang said on her blog that appeared in many Chinese BBS.
Wang said she and another female colleague were asked to have dinner with Cao and other officials on April 13. After dinner, Cao asked Wang to take him back to his hotel room because he was drunk while her colleague managed to leave.
In the room, Cao pushed her to the bed and raped her despite her struggle. "Cao even shouted angrily 'how can you do this to me' when I refused him and wanted to leave the room," she said.
"I posted Cao's pictures on the Internet to protect my colleagues from being hurt by him," she said.
Wang described her experience a "hidden rule" for air hostesses and other female workers in domestic airlines.
Her blog has received more than 300,000 page views. Many people sympathized with her sufferings and asked the airline to punish Cao. Some, however, suspected Wang made up the story to gain fame.
Cao denied all the accusations from Wang and said he would call police for Wang's "slander," the airline based in Xiamen, Fujian Province said yesterday.
The airline has sent an investigation team to Beijing to join the local police and said it received Wang's accusation against Cao the day after her alleged rape.
"Cao said he did have diner with Wang on that night but denied what Wang said had happened after the dinner," an airline press officer said yesterday.
"The airline will definitely punish the official if the accusation proved true and will take legal actions against the woman employee if she made up the story because the case has damaged the airline's reputation," the official said.
