So you're saying that Ms. Wolfe can accuse him of sending harassing messages, but IAC can't?

Even if IAC has irrefutable evidence that it happened?



IAC can what it likes but disclosing this while its own investigation is still in progress could lead to him getting a better result than he deserves ie he might say my employer did not follow the rules so I am claiming unfair dismissal and win compensation.

Incompetence or deliberate mistake?


See, the problem is the word "harassing".

He sent her emails? Fact.

The nature was sexual? Fact.

They were "harassing"? The very conjecture that is to be investigated.

As an example, if I send a text to my girlfriend and co-worker that says "I'm gonna plow your fields tonight", it is a fact it was sent, was sexual but harassing? That is contextual.


Does the "it became clear" in IAC's statement mean nothing to you?


It means that they have irrefutable evidence, as I said before.

What does it mean to you?
