Can Laura be trusted?

Despite being “frozen with fear” at the sexual assault by Rosli, Instagram photos show a different side of her.

PETALING JAYA: News of Laura Bushney, 26, accusing MAS chief steward Mohd Rosli Ab Karim of sexually assaulting her on board a flight bound for Paris, has attracted mixed reactions ranging from utter disgust to deep skepticism.

While MAS has remained non-committal as investigations are still underway, the National Union of Flight Attendants Malaysia (NUFAM) are standing firmly behind 54-year-old Rosli, issuing a statement that no inappropriate acts were committed by the married steward towards Bushney.

Be that as it may, a blogger has revealed Instagram shots Bushney took of herself where she appears topless in various poses, thereby calling into question her character and her credibility.

Screen shots of the sexually explicit pictures are posted on the blogger’s site, although all the original pictures have been pulled down from her Instagram account now.

Other criticism hurled at Bushney is her apparent inability to stop Rosli from sexually assaulting her yet having the presence of mind to record the incident using a phone hidden under the blanket.

She is also heard whispering, “He’s massaging my legs. I’m so scared I just want to get off the plane.”

Throughout her ordeal, Bushney made not one but two phone recordings, the second being when she lashed out at him saying, “I don’t want to see you, go away, you give me the creeps, you dirty old man.”

With recordings of Rosli clearly asking Bushney for forgiveness, the evidence does seem to show him in bad light as do the topless pictures of Bushney herself.

How this will pan out is anybody’s guess.
