don't know where ANY of this came from, since none of the people who were there have indicated ANY SUCH THING. She was not with Gateway (Annex were brought there under contract as paid performers), she did not hope to advance, there was ZERO court case.
Even as a contract worker, she still could have filed a law suit. She could have easily stated she was pressed into doing it to keep her company in a good light with a married Gateway executive. She was an imported talent, correct? That could easily be playied up as Collas as a preditor praying on a vulnerable young woman in a strange land. If Collas was just a janitor, I would agree with you there was no case. He was in a precieved position of power as a GW Exec who could open many doors for her, or shut the her out of future GW contracts.
I doubt it would be a huge money maker for her but I could easily see Gateway paying hush money to keep it out of the courts. If he's done this once, he probably did it multiple times before getting caught. A law suit by contractor would probably spur actual GW employees to come forth with their stories and litigation. Collas' attitude was probably just the icing on the cake.
