“The report I read said she was only touched, but the sexual act is not yet clear,” Lagradante said., This news data comes from:http://guoeog.gangzhifhm.com
The victim delayed filing her complaint after her colleagues allegedly told her to keep silent.
“She was told, ‘this is just among us.’ Then after several days, the victim realized she had to report it,” Lagradante said.
The suspects have been disarmed and face both administrative and criminal charges once the allegations are proven.
