Forums - General - Texas: Jury Rejects Assertion of Rape Against Military Contractor in Iraq

source

A former employee of the military contractor KBR Inc. who said she was drugged and raped while working in Iraq lost her lawsuit against KBR on Friday after a federal jury in Houston concluded that the sex was consensual. The former employee, Jamie Leigh Jones, 26, said she was raped in 2005 while working at Camp Hope, Baghdad. She sued KBR, its former parent Halliburton Co. and a former KBR firefighter, Charles Bortz, whom she identified as one of her rapists. The accusation was investigated but no criminal charges were filed. KBR said it was satisfied. “Since 2005, KBR has been subjected to a continuing series of lies perpetuated by the plaintiff in front of Congress, in the media, and to any audience wishing to lend an ear to this story,” a spokeswoman said.

Apparently, it's okay to lie and keep lying without repercussions as long as you're incorporated. Don't (normal) people get charges when the lie in their testimony and such?

There were lots of news a few years back. With them destroying evidence, etc. You can google if if you want more info.

But since they changed name, maybe they can get away scotch free?



It's Texas. This type of thing happens all the time......

However, you provided no such evidence in this thread that shows anything about anyone in any way.

Please close pointless thread.

Just because it was on the news doesn't make it truth; just ask Fox News.

JURY'S NEED EVIDENCE!!! Same reason a more than likely killer just got away with murdering her daughter... no evidence beyond sensationalism.
