Lawyer: As many as 20 women claim sex assault at KBR | Raw Story
The lawyer for a woman claiming she was raped by a KBR worker says that as many as 20 of the company’s female employees allege they were sexually assaulted while working for the company.
Sometimes I have to remind myself that the bottom-of-the-pyramid workers aren’t the only ones that need protection. I wonder how many of the 20 women allegedly abused by KBR wouldn’t have been, had the first few been able to safely warn them and other workers away from the company? How quickly might regulators, and even KBR itself, have addressed the problem if there were clear, unambiguous and public reports on these abuses from the beginning?
