Summary

Fiji police are investigating the alleged rape and robbery of two Virgin Australia crew members in Nadi on New Year's Day.

The incident occurred after the crew, on a layover, visited a nightclub and were reportedly attacked while trying to return to their hotel.

Virgin Australia has dispatched support teams to Fiji but withheld further details.

Fiji, a popular tourist destination, is now under scrutiny following this high-profile case. The investigation is ongoing, and no further comments have been made by Australian authorities.

"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," said Chew, adding that the investigation is continuing."

So it wasn't specifically because they were flight crew members, that's incidental to the crime itself.

It's not a virgin right after though.

Ah, rape humor. Does it ever get old?

It shouldn’t, because it should’ve been aborted.

Don't rob or rape. Not even once.
