A dismissal letter said she had spread falsehoods that had damaged the company's reputation

The letter said she had spread false information about the assault and about the company not handling the case.The employee was quoted as saying: "I have not made any mistakes, and certainly will not accept this result, and in the future will use legal means to protect my rights and interests."Alibaba, China's largest e-commerce firm, did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the BBC.

Alibaba faced fierce public backlash, later firing the co-worker, identified only as Mr Wang. The company said two executives who failed to act on the allegation also resigned.Alibaba had earlier said the man accused of rape had admitted that "there were intimate acts" while the woman was "inebriated".
