A man in Fiji faces charges of sexual assault and rape following an alleged attack on a Virgin Australia flight attendant. Another crew member also reported an assault outside a nightclub.
A man has been remanded in custody in Fiji after being charged with sexual assault and rape following an alleged attack on a Virgin Australia crew member. Ilaisa Tanoa Degei appeared in Nadi Magistrates Court on Monday facing the charges relating to an incident on New Year's Day after celebrations at Nadi's Bar One nightclub. Magistrate Mareta Tikoisuva adjourned Degei's matter until January 20 after prosecutors opposed bail.
In a separate incident, another Virgin crew member alleged they were assaulted and robbed outside the nightclub, suffering facial injuries. Virgin Australia confirmed it was aware of the incident and its focus was on the wellbeing of its staff. The crew members, their families and support staff have returned home to Australia. Bar One management distanced itself from the alleged assaults, stating they did not take place inside the establishment. The incident comes two weeks after a group of tourists, including four Australians, fell ill after drinking pina coladas at the Warwick Fiji resort. The cause of the illness is unclear, with no methanol detected during testing of the drinks. Despite Australians being caught up in both incidents, the federal government hasn't changed its travel advice
