More reason to encourage belief in Fr Corapi's innocence?

Santa Cruz Media Inc. is a secular corporation and although it appears to take a Christian stance, is not affiliated with the Catholic Church in any way. It is the owner of all Fr John Corapi's intellectual property. Bobbi Ruffatto, its Vice President of Operations, has issued a statement on Father's recent suspension at the blog fratres.wordpress.com/ Scroll to appropriate post, at the moment showing second on the page.
[FULL TEXT] Statement of Santa Cruz Media Inc. Relative to Fr. Corapi's suspension

This is worth reading, particularly because of the following details:

".......there is no evidence that Fr. Corapi did anything wrong, only the unsubstantiated rant of a former employee, who after losing her job with this office, physically assaulted me and another employee and promised to 'destroy' Fr. Corapi."

One hopes the assault was reported to the police at the time. For Ruffatto to report it now, after the accusations, might be seen as unhelpful because of his corporation's vested interest in proving Father's innocence.
