A woman was claims soul singer JAMES BROWN raped her is asking the US Supreme Court to hear her sexual harassment lawsuit.
A federal appeals court dismissed JACQUE HOLLANDER’s lawsuit in August (06), claiming she had waited too long to file her case.
Hollander argues that the state’s two-year statute of limitations in such cases does not provide equal protection to women.
In her lawsuit, she says Brown raped her at gunpoint in 1988 while she was working as his publicist. She is seeking $106 million (£59 million) in damages.
Hollander said she sued Brown after she developed a thyroid condition in 2000 that doctors told her was caused by the stress of the alleged assault.
She said the statute of limitations also shouldn’t apply because the condition wasn’t diagnosed for 12 years.
Brown’s attorney, DEBRA OPRI, called Hollander’s request for the Supreme Court to hear her case "a pipe dream." According to Hollander’s lawyer, DONALD ROSEN, the appeal is likely to be Hollander’s final legal option.
He adds, "Then her only recourse is in the court of public opinion. That would be a horrible miscarriage of justice."
