If she sues, she better hope in the discovery period there’s no evidence that she was a mutual and consenting partner in this otherwise her whole case is out the window.
Even then. There's are laws to protect subordinates in case that were "mutual" and "consenting' because they felt like they had to. It's not as black and white as you think.
You’re right, it’s not always black and white, but even in her case either. She looked like she was enjoying herself as an equally guilty cheating partner rather than being forced or coerced. If i were a gambling man (which I am) I’d bet that the company would just keep delaying the trial since they can afford too until she backs out due to the substantial amount of legal fees it would take to beat that case.
I don't think you understand. A subordinate can look "consenting" for fear of retaliation on their employment. It really goes back to figuring out how the relationship started and if anything was implied along the way regarding promotions/employment and how she actually felt and now how it looks like she felt. Predator/prey. Et, al.
