Two women who worked at SAP SE filed reports to the software company’s human resources department within 18 months of each other saying that they were raped by colleagues while attending after-work events on business trips.

The incidents – one in Las Vegas and the other near Dallas – provide an unsettling look into how some women at SAP say they struggled to convince their own HR team that they didn’t consent to sexual advances.
