A man is to appear in court today charged with the sexual assault and rape of a 21-year-old Virgin Airlines flight attendant in the Fijian city of Nadi, located on the western side of the nation’s main island Viti Levu. It was one of two attacks on crew members that occurred there in the early hours of New Year’s Day.

In a separate incident, another Virgin staffer was robbed and sustained facial injuries.
