XIAMEN Airlines is investigating an allegation from a female staff member who claimed to be raped by a senior official of the airline in Beijing, the airline said yesterday.
Wang Yan, a ground service worker for the airline in Beijing, posted an accusation online on Sunday saying that Cao Zhijun, deputy director-general of the airline's Beijing office, forced her to have sex with him in a hotel room in April. She also posted photos of Cao and some of herself in unkempt hair and tears.
"I was desperate and only wanted to end my life at that time," Wang said on many popular Chinese BBS with an ID "A cat wants to die after being raped."
Wang said she and another female staffer of the airline had dinner with Cao at 9:20pm on April 13. They finished dinner at 1am when Cao asked Wang to take him back to a hotel room because he was drunk, she said. Her colleague managed to leave.
Cao then grabbed her when she asked to leave, threw her onto the bed and raped her despite her desperate struggle, said Wang. Photos that Wang posted online showed her jacket was torn while her hair became ruffled.
"Cao even shouted, 'How can you do this to me?' in anger when I refused him and wanted to leave," she said.
Wang called her experience a "hidden rule" for flight attendants and other female airline personnel with the airline.
Cao has denied the accusation and said he would call police to report Wang's "slander," according to the airline, based in Xiamen in southeast China's Fujian Province.
The airline said in a statement yesterday that it received the accusation from Wang the day after the claimed event.
"Cao said he did have dinner with Wang that night but denied what Wang said happened after dinner," a press official of the airline said yesterday.
