what serious crime was there an accusation of?

I think it's because people are maybe not hearing the whole statement: "I was just raped not that long ago and I can't stand another man touching me!"

So she's accusing him of touching her, not raping her.

he left only after he was told to by staff

He is a person and has feelings, of course. They don't override a person having a mental breakdown as a result of trauma they went through.

This isn't some asshole kid cutting in line because they don't expect you to say/do anything about it. In which case, if you want to fight that battle have at it.

I don't fault him for getting annoyed or upset that someone cut in front of him. Completely normal to get upset about that, but once it became clear that the person was not in full control of their mental faculties they should have removed themselves from the situation.

ah, yeah, there isn't an inherent bias here at all

While removing the trigger is the best way to calm someone that's having an episode, I'm not sure why you're putting the blame on the guy for not doing it on his own. Most people don't know what to do when faced with mental illness, unless they've dealt with it before. This stuff isn't exactly taught as common knowledge.

The staff asking him to go to another line was fine, but only if they checked him out immediately, rather than make him wait in another line.

And all of that said, I agree with the others. If she's that triggered by men, then she shouldn't have cut in front of one.
