However the person involved (it appears) is not a peripheral member to make up the numbers. said person is direct assistant to the principal. that changes the picture for me.
that means said person is out there for vendetta (ie nothing bad actually happened - eg a demanding boss), or said person has been chronically harrassed as claimed.
or both. doesn't sound criminal though, if it were criminal they wouldn't have waited years and collected a stream of app screenshots and keeping quiet for years.
so i think there is a bit of both. but who is out there to get CH. is it just the person?
i think someone else using this as ammunition because said person probably confided in someone some time last year, and bingo, let's set this up and see what happens sort of a thing.
fireworks alright

Depends on the dynamics of the work relationship. Often any such complaint is the culmination of a situation that has escalated over time.
Imagine your boss repeatedly behaving in a way that you perceive as disturbing/inappropriate (regardless whether others think likewise). You give repeated signs to your boss that you dislike that behavior and that the behavior should stop or change. Your boss ignores most or all of your signs (maybe your boss considers not doing anything disturbing/inappropriate at all or maybe the boss's mind got substantially clouded because, unfortunately for you, you have become his/her love interest). You experience the situation as toxic and feel terrible because of the hierarchy situation (you want to keep your job).
Your options: you request the boss to address the situation with due respect asap; you could reach out to a trusted person to discuss the situation; you could file a complaint; you could leave.
Maybe you're right: common understanding that your boss can be blamed. Maybe you're wrong: common understanding that your boss cannot be blamed.
In this matter the female employee blames Horner (according to "De Telegraaf" newspaper, her claim is documented with evidence). Horner considers that he cannot be blamed (strongly denying all allegations, describing these as "nuts"). Let's wait and see what the external investigator and Red Bull management think about it.
