The final conclusion is he was fired on the basis that someone _said_ they were harmed.
It's interesting to discuss wither they were actually harmed and felt that way and what kind of upbringing or circumstances might lead to that. Or, that they saw an opportunity to get a ahead and exert power over someone by pretending they were harmed.
It can be a gray area as well. They might have felt uncomfortable say a 5 on a 1-10 scale. But then also realized they could turn it around and fire this person.
