It was word against word. On the one hand, a scholarship student from the Ecole hôtelière de Lausanne (EHL) accused repeated violent rapes a facility manager. On the other, this collaborator linked to the awarding of scholarships admitted consensual sex in 2015, but no abuse.

In the absence of evidence, the Court found an acquittal on the benefit of the doubt.
