Once any criminal investigation, trial or hearing is over and settled, then you make your case to the media. If you say anything before it should be a statement issued through your attorney that has been vetted. Nothing irks an attorney more than a loud mouthed client to likes to talk in public.

Well when your attorney points out that anything you say can be used in court against you, and you are involved in something that could result in criminal charges, you shut up. Nothing like the possibility of being bubbas ***** to make you clam up.

He's right. The statute of lims for assault or rape are nowhere near expired.
And given the publicity, an ambitious DA might just decide to run it up the flagpole, even though he wouldn't have touched it last year on the merits alone. Or the DA could get pressured to prosecute a losing case.

Has it been established that they even had sex, or is that also just an allegation? A prosecutor would have an impossible time proving rape beyond a reasonable doubt.

I doubt that this lawsuit will ever go to trial. Here's my guess as to how it will play out:
(1) Alaska hates bad publicity, so they'll pull out the big checkbook and attempt to buy off the pilot (or, perhaps both pilots).
(2) The FO wants the Captain's head on a plate.
(3) The FO's lawyer wants a new Lexus.
(4) After a suitable amount of posturing, hand-wringing, and arm-twisting, the FO will accept the settlement.
(5) BOTH pilots go back to work.
(6) Alaska Flight Ops management will issue a FCIF, reminding crews of the potential consequences of off-duty (layover) activities and their responsibility to be "fit to fly".

It’s interesting that she reported being drugged and raped two days after it happened, and yet the captain was never charged with a crime. It’s been 9 months! She’s suing the airline but no charges have been pressed. Something definitely doesn’t add up here.

Her going public, is the hail-mary pass that other women come forward, without them, the case is dead in the water. In fact, everyone should reserve judgement until more evidence comes forward. The reasonable doubt in this case, is that she might have faced termination had she not been raped.
