JAMES BROWN SEXUAL HARRASSMENT CASE FLOUNDERS

A 19-year-old sexual harrassment case filed against JAMES BROWN by his former publicist has been rejected by the US Supreme court.

JAMES BROWN

JACQUE HOLLANDER claims the late singer raped her at gunpoint in 1988. She alleges the incident caused her to develop the thyroid condition Grave's Disease.

Hollander's claim for $106 million (GBP56 million) in punitive damages failed in 2005 when a federal judge ruled she had waited too long to file the case. The decision was upheld by an appeals court in 2006.

The Supreme Court justices did not comment on the decision made yesterday (2APR07).

Hollander, 50, said after the hearing, "It hurts. This whole thing has hurt; 19 years of extreme hurt and pain.

"Unfortunately for this case, I think it was more about James Brown, the 'Godfather of Soul.'"

Brown died on Christmas Day last year (25DEC06) aged 73.
