A former senior Alaska Airlines pilot who was fired earlier this year after a female co-pilot sued the airline, alleging that the captain drugged and raped her during a June 2017 work trip, has filed a lawsuit of his own against his accuser and the carrier. The aviator, who flew for Alaska for 22 years, claims he was wrongly terminated amid “false #MeToo claims” in a “negligent, flawed investigation.”

Paul Engelien filed the lawsuit against former First Officer Betty Pina after the 40-year-old woman claimed the captain, 51, drugged and raped her during a layover on a work trip to Minnesota in June 2017, the Seattle Times reported on Nov. 2.

The reality is that many women will readily lie about this and more and the Left is in complete denial about this even though every woman knows it is true.

I have no idea if it wasnt in the article.

Tip: newspaper articles are incredibly inaccurate and incomplete. Dont assume something did or din not happen based solely on its presence or abscence in a news article.

The rate of false rape allegations is five times higher than for any other crime. And that is for cases taken to the police and trial.

The Prevalence of False Allegations of Rape in the United States from 2006-2010

Go to systems that don’t follow the same strict protection protocols for the accused, and the false allegation rate is much higher.

For military rape tribunals, 25% are false.

I would believe that the rate is far higher for Title IX tribunals. When Laura Kipnis and Lindsay Shepherd were brought before tribunals charged with “sexual violence” for contradicting liberal dogma, you know that innocent guys are being tried for rape for consensual acts or equally drunk encounters.
