She was dismissed for spreading false information that had hurt the company's reputation.
A woman has been fired from a Chinese e- commerce firm after accusing her boss and a client of sexual assault.
She was dismissed for spreading false information that had hurt the company's reputation.
In August, the employee went public with her allegations because she said that Alibaba had failed to take action. She says she was raped on a business trip.
A criminal case against her boss was dropped.
The client is being investigated by the police.
The harassment faced by women in the workplace in China has been highlighted in a well-publicised case.
The employee told Dahe Daily that she was fired. She said that the letter she was terminated from was published.
She spread false information about the assault and the company not handling it, according to the letter.
This had a bad impact on the company.
The employee was quoted as saying that they would use legal means to protect their rights in the future, and that they had not made any mistakes.
The lawyer for the woman confirmed her dismissal to the New York Times.
The company that is China's largest e-commerce firm did not respond to the request for comment.
The woman's account of the incident was published in an eleven-page document, in which she said the manager raped her in a hotel room while she was unconscious after a "drunken night".
It caused a social media storm in China.
The manager coerced the woman into travelling to the city of Jinan, which is around 900 km from the head office in Hangzhou, for a meeting with a client.
She claimed that she was ordered to drink alcohol with her co-workers.
She said that the client kissed her. She woke up in her hotel room without her clothes on and had no recollection of the night before.
The woman said that she obtained footage from a camera that showed the manager entering her room four times.
The woman said that she requested the manager be fired after returning to Hangzhou, and that the incident was reported to the HR department.
She said that human resources initially agreed to the request.
The co-worker, identified only as Mr Wang, was later fired. Two executives who failed to act on the allegation resigned.
A memo was issued saying thatAlibaba was against forced drinking culture.
The man accused of rape admitted that there were intimate acts while the woman was "inebriated", according to the company.
Mr Wang's case won't progress, but the prosecutors of the court have approved the arrest of the client who is accused of attacking the victim. He is identified by his first name.
The company that Mr. Zhang worked for fired him.
The case has divided opinion online. Some people said that the co-worker got away too lightly while others said there wasn't enough evidence against him.
This latest development is likely to spark similar debates in China, which is grappling with its #MeToo movement.
