HOUSTON - A federal jury has ruled Jamie Leigh Jones, whose case became a call-to-action for reform in arbitration clauses in contracts, was not raped.
Jones had sued former employer Kellogg, Brown and Root, alleging the company created a hostile sexual environment that led to her gang-rape while living at one of the company's camps in 2005. The company, a subsidiary of Halliburton, had argued a mandatory arbitration clause in her employment contract had prevented her from suing the company in open court.
An appeals court sided with Jones on that issue, but jurors ruled Friday that Jones and Charles Bortz had engaged in consensual sex.
Earlier this week, KBR had filed a motion for judgment as a matter of law, arguing that Jones offered insufficient evidence to prove the essential elements of her claims.
"In three weeks of trial, Plaintiff has produced no evidence of being sexually harassed during her July 2005 employment in Iraq that was sufficiently severe or pervasive so as to have altered the terms and conditions of her employment," the motion says.

Jones had previously accused KBR employees of drugging and gang-raping her. No charges were filed and the civil suit was rejected.
