Court asks Supreme Court to hear James Brown harassment suit
Jacque Hollander appeals to the U S Supreme Court after a federal appeals court tossed her sexual harassment suit against James Brown over a two year statute of limitations. She alleges Brown raped her at gunpoint in 1988 in South Carolina while she was his publicist and seeks 106 million in damages, arguing PTSD and an undiagnosed thyroid condition tied to the stress. Brown's attorney dismisses the appeal as a pipe dream and notes the case hinges on whether the limitations period violates equal protection for women. Hollander says the two year limit discriminates against women across the country.
