Jamie Leigh Jones

Who is Jamie Leigh Jones?

Jamie Leigh Jones was an employee of KBR, an American engineering, construction and private military contracting company. She is notable for accusing then fellow KBR employees of drugging and gang-raping her on July 28, 2005, at Camp Hope, Baghdad, Iraq. A federal grand jury investigated her claims but issued no indictments.

Jones filed a civil suit against KBR and one of its former employees for over $114 million in damages. The jury returned a verdict in favor of the defendants, finding that the sex between Jones and the employee was consensual, and therefore no rape had occurred, and that KBR did not defraud her.

Jones is the founder of the Jamie Leigh Foundation, an advocacy agency for victims of sexual assault.
