Employee of US contractor tells of sex attack in Iraq
Suzanne Gamboa; 11/4/08;
A woman who says she was raped while working for a foreign contractor in Iraq has detailed the experience in a congressional hearing as another woman who made similar allegations before Congress last year listened and fought back tears.
Dawn Leamon said at a Senate subcommittee hearing that she was sodomised and forced to have oral sex by a soldier and a co-worker after drinking a cocktail that made her feel strange. She worked as a paramedic for Service Employees International Inc, a foreign subsidiary of KBR Inc, at Camp Harper near Basra, Iraq.
The alleged attack by the two men occurred several months after Jamie Leigh Jones told a House of Representatives committee that she had been raped by KBR/Halliburton co-workers in 2005 and was held in a shipping container for a day after she reported it.
