Virgin Australia crew members allegedly raped and robbed in Fiji
Two Virgin Australia crew members were allegedly victims of rape and theft in the early hours of New Year’s Day, officials in Fiji said.
Police are investigating incidents involving two crew members of Australian airline Virgin Australia who were allegedly victims of rape and theft in the early hours of New Year’s Day, the Fiji government said Thursday.
The crew members were in the popular tourist destination of Nadi on a layover before they were supposed to fly off the following day, Fiji Acting Commissioner of Police Juki Fong Chew said in a statement.
Virgin, which said it was aware of the alleged incidents, has sent people to Fiji to provide support, but did not provide further details in a statement to Reuters.
Fiji police said the investigation so far had found some Virgin crew members had gone to a nightclub in Nadi.
“Unfortunately, two of the crew members were victims of an alleged theft and rape after exiting the nite club trying to find their way back to the hotel,” Chew said.
