Re: key words

The civil actions taken against the company were required to go through arbitration.

The response to any criminal acts would not come under the employment contracts and appropriate criminal justice procedures followed.

It's possible for actions to be unacceptable in employment without breaking the law, so it's possible that nothing happened, that something happened that wasn't illegal but did justify removing the accused from the organisation, that something happened that wasn't illegal and didn't justify ending someone's employment but they were asked to leave anyway and that something happened and the police should've been called but weren't. It's even possible that the police were called and chose not to pursue a prosecution.

We don't know which scenario came to pass but in none of them has anybody signed away their right to a fair trial.
