johnrose Posted February 28, 2006 Posted February 28, 2006 French Disney employees accused of sexually assaulting colleague ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - Authorities were investigating allegations by a Disney employee that she was raped by four French national employed at the amusement park, authorities said. No charges have been filed against the four men because they were co-operating with authorities and are not considered a flight risk, said Jim Solomons, spokesman for the Orange County Sheriff's Office. The men were employed by the park under it's International Program, which routinely brings foreign nationals to work at Disney World, many as cultural representatives at the Epcot theme park. According to the incident report, the woman told investigators she was walking home to her apartment late Saturday night when she was confronted by four men who ``grabbed her by the arms and carried her'' into an apartment shared by the men in the complex used by Disney to house employees from their international programs. The report said the woman phoned a friend for help, but the suspects hung up the phone and, when she tried to leave, allegedly forced her onto the sofa, ``removed her clothing and held her down,'' and took turns raping her. ``In essence it was a gang rape. There were four people being accused and all four of those individuals were accused of having a sexual relationship with a woman against her will,'' Solomons said. The victim said she repeatedly told the men to stop and tried to leave the apartment, according to the incident report. Solomons said the investigation was ongoing and no further details could be released. Disney officials said they are co-operating with authorities in the investigation.

Homer Posted February 28, 2006 Posted February 28, 2006 In America, we think French is the language of date rape, not love.
TheGreatOne Posted February 28, 2006 Posted February 28, 2006 All she would've had to do is declare war on them and they would've automatically surrendered! Seriously though, it's always sad to see things like this happen at a place regarded as the happiest on earth.
Hattuchili Posted February 28, 2006 Posted February 28, 2006 OMG, in 2 weeks I will be there and live in one of the Disney apartments! It isw unbelievable and sad that it happened! Maybe I´ll know more about this in a few weeks! --Sören
BDG Posted February 28, 2006 Posted February 28, 2006 Unfortunately, those things can happen, but I wouldn't be surprised if this is another one of those made-up stories to sue and get rich. Being in a totally different country and working for a company like Disney, those men simply could not do this. We'll see...

Police are considering whether to lay charges... no mention of a lawsuit.
Hattuchili Posted March 1, 2006 Posted March 1, 2006 Today I have seen, this happened in the Commons! Thats where I will living for one year! I can only say it is unbeliveable that it happened! Why is someone doing that? --Sören
verticalzero Posted March 1, 2006 Posted March 1, 2006 That's so awful for something like that to happen to anyone. I hope the 4 men have their "nuts" cut off or put between 2 bricks. Make sure you carry some "pepper spray" in your handbag ladies
FlyingScooter Posted March 1, 2006 Posted March 1, 2006 I hate hearing stories like this. Deportation is too good for them. I say they get hung by their wrists in a room filled with angry lesbians and blunt knives.
verticalzero Posted March 1, 2006 Posted March 1, 2006 Hey: FlyingScooter - I've been to your home town and can I say it's a wonderful place, stayed there for 2 days while visiting Cedar Point.

viking86 Posted March 5, 2006 Posted March 5, 2006 Hehe it turns out that the woman, who was from Norway, gave a false statement to the police. The four guys had videotaped the entire act, and it showed that she volunteered to have sex with them. They also found a small amount of drugs on the woman.
turlaach Posted March 5, 2006 Posted March 5, 2006 ^lol as i thought, just another attempt to sue and get rich.
Hattuchili Posted March 5, 2006 Posted March 5, 2006 ^^ Hmm, after reading this, I think it is a disgrace what she did! I mean she is still a guest in the USA and it is unbelievable what some people are doing for money or to destroy other peoples reputation! --Sören
