19 year old civilian girl is drugged, raped, sodomized, assaulted, and wakes up with one of her attackers.

Most girls would be nearly hysterical and the first thing they would want is to be taken to a secure place – either LEO, hospital, or relatives.

But left in a container?

Why was she not immediately MEDEVACED to a CSH? Why was she not immediately given the means to contact family? Why was she not immediately given water and food or access to same?

Why were the firefighters not fired on the spot for violating KBR alchohol and other policies? Why did KBR not declare jurisdiction locale for all its contractors as a condition of employment? If she was isolated from the “crime scene” then where is the sealed crime scene container?

What comes out of this is that there is no KBR procedure for handling crimes against contractors by contractors. The simplest thing to do would be to liason with the CID and have contractors subject to the UCMJ.
