The Singapore Police Force (SPF) confirmed on Thursday that a report had been lodged and that investigations were ongoing.

The British High Commission also said that it was “providing support” to a British man in Singapore and that it was in contact with local authorities.

British media outlets, including The Sun and The Daily Mail, first reported on Wednesday that a male British Airways crew member had been arrested in Singapore, after being accused of raping his colleague, a stewardess.

The reports stated that the rape allegation was made after the crew had gone on a night out during a layover.
