		<description>I knew David personally some years ago. When we dated, he wanted sex 24/7, and he was truly a nympho. I saw these signs early on and that&#039;s why I had to let him go. After I broke up with him, He held me in a room against my will, choked me, pulled my hair, and through me against the wall until he got what he wanted. I screamed but no one heard me. I literally thought I was going to die. I am not surprised that he is charged with sexual misconduct. He was a ticking time bomb ready to explode. I am glad I got out when I did.

&lt;strong&gt;Ms Sparky&#039;s Response:&lt;/strong&gt;
It sounds to me like he kidnapped, assaulted and raped you. I don&#039;t know what State you are in, so I don&#039;t know what the statute of limitations is. But I would report this. I am sure there are others just like you. With enough convictions....he might get enough time to stay behind bars and not hurt anyone else. He can be the &quot;bitch&quot; for a change. 

His maximum sentence is only two years. I&#039;ll bet they will give him &quot;time served&quot;. This bastard needs to be in prison forever!

		<description>FYI,
you might want to re-read my comment. I said that I COULD NEVER CONDONE THAT SORT OF THING.
There are more like him. Yes, a jury will decide. I have NO opinion on whatever he did or did not do, whatsoever. For all I know, he may be as guilty as sin. And NO WOMAN deserves to be harrassed on ANY jobsite, on a construction site or in a cookie baking class. What I AM telling you, is that some women entice men to do these things. Remember EVE?
I also have NO opinion on what the woman did or did not do. I am simply relating what occured at the camp that I was at, firsthand.</description>

You might want to read through these comments, it appears that he is alleged to have done this type of thing previously (comment bg1216) and was dismissed by his employer.  The trial is scheduled for November and the evidence will be presented and a jury will decide the verdict.</description>

		<description>People,,,,sometimes women bring things on themselves. I can tell you that I have NEVER and WILL never make ANY sexually suggestive remarks on ANY job. I treat women on the job as if it were my sister or mother, with respect. I don&#039;t try to justify the actions of some men simply because some bad women start the problem.

Case in point---Camp Blackjack, full of drama.
2003, 4 women, 2 of them named tammi and tonya.
tami was having a relationship with an african american soldier. (at that time, rooms were shared by 2 people) the soldier would come into our offices and tammi would sit on his lap, she would use the company truck to pick up his laundry, and yes, he slept with her in her trailer. tammi had relationships too, most lasting for only a week, and she had more than one relationship at a time, discussing this openly in our offices. tonya subsaquently contracted a venerial disease which she had to go to baghdad for, because camp victory didn&#039;t have anything strong enough to get rid of it, according to her (yes, her words, sad but true)
One night, the black soldier was having sex with tammi while tonya was in the bed only feet away. tonya stated &quot;damn, why don&#039;t ya&#039;ll just make a video&quot;. tammi liked the idea and immediately went to retrieve a cam corder from her vehicle. When she came back, her black soldier boyfriend was standing over tonya&#039;s bed and both tonya and the ssgt looked puzzled. tammi wanted to know what was going on,,,,&quot;oh, nothing&quot;   That was the end of it, until tammi went on R&amp;R a week later. While she was gone, tonya dropped a BOMB. She reported that her friend&#039;s boyfriend tried to rape her. tammi got back from vacation and both had huge arguments in our offices. what happened next?    The soldier got court martialed for attempted rape,,,,tonya got moved to checking boarding passes at baghdad airport and tammi stayed there. they made SEVERAL comments to me and our fellow workers,,,such as &quot;I bet you gotta big cock&quot; with both laughing hysterically.  I personally avoided any personal conversation with them, they were really wicked women, and seemed to enjoy it. you truly can&#039;t imagine some of the backstabbing things they did to another woman there, almost causing her to have a nervous breakdown. (eventually that other woman went on to start up her own supply company because KBR had such a big problem getting materials in a timely fashion, she is doing very very well, last time i heard)
up until that time, they worked as a very effective team in getting the other 2 girls removed from our camp, but, i guess they ran out of competitors and turned on each other,,,go figure.
LOL,,,,again,,,sad but true.</description>

		<description>Does anyone know the outcome of the trial? Was he convicted or acquitted

&lt;strong&gt;Ms Sparky&#039;s Response:&lt;/strong&gt;
I do not believe he has gone to trial. Unless he pled guilty and I missed it. If you find out anything feel free to update us.

UPDATE: A reader sent me this:
Breda is scheduled to go on trial November 16th, 2009.</description>

		<description>Zero Tolerance. That&#039;s what they say, and what we read and signed to in Houston before leaving for Iraq. I was subcontracted to KBR with a different company. MANY co-workers and some of the foremen were felons, easy to verify via state DOC (Department of Corrections) public-access records. Many of us women were sexually assaulted and retaliated against for reporting. What usually happened is nothing to the male, but the woman was moved to a different camp, often further assaulted/harassed by the original assaulter&#039;s buddies--since word spreads fast camp-to-camp, or if the perpetrator was a close friend of higher management, the woman&#039;s career often was in imminent danger or destroyed. A KBR friend of mine, told me when she reported to human resources, the blatant public harassment she was experiencing, was then told by an older female HR rep., &quot;Well, what do you expect, working with men in a war zone&quot;, or words similar (and the most they would do for her was to move her to another camp). I was cautioned (and threatened) to not report, plus one camp didn&#039;t even have complaint forms and the supervisor literally laughed and walked away. After reporting stalking multiple times, I was told by the supervisor that the man was too young to be a stalker. My government incident report paperwork, after the assault, was literally torn up in front of me. The supervisor told me that I had to write what he wanted me to say. One of the foreman said he&#039;d himself would try to turn in through other channels the facts of the assault. What&#039;s known is the tip of the iceberg. Most women were too afraid to report.

&lt;strong&gt;Ms Sparky&#039;s Response:&lt;/strong&gt;
That is just bull shit!! I am sending you an email. I want to recommend an attorney.</description>

		<description>When I first read about this story in Feb.08 I was amazed how so many people bashed the victim. I realized that no one heard her, they just read what his attorney said about him. &quot;The loving husband and father. Held aganist his will, treated like a prisoner&quot;. People that was BS in all CAPS. I was at that camp and when the word got out about him, you could catch him roaming the streets of Al Asad at anytime of the day alone. And go figure he was still collecting a paycheck and living in their housing.

 Nobody knew who the female was accusing him until links to the petition came out. Jaws dropped across the board. &quot;No not her they said&quot;. Well I know thats what I said. She greeted me with a smile many morning when I entered the MWR Facility. I had small talk with her one day, asked her why she was way out here. She replied, &quot;setting a good foundation to take care of my daughter.&quot; Hadn&#039;t seen her for a while though heard they forced her to another camp cause the company couldn&#039;t control his where abouts.

 I will tell you what is really sad about this case the fact it could have been prevented. KBR has a Zero Tolerance for these situations. How are you suppose to feel though when people in higher positions over you hold critical information. People in supervisor positions knew about times when he violated other females. But they said nothing. So how do you trust a Zero Tolerance Policy or your upper management? Who can blame her for not telling when it happened.

 I don&#039;t feel it is KBR itself making a bad name for the company, it&#039;s the people they hire. This guy knew somebody, that knew somebody that&#039;s how he got hired. When you are personally requested of course they don&#039;t do a full background check unless the position requires it. This guy got put out the Army on an other than honorable discharge, for inappropriate behavior. Had to resign from Korgers for sexual harassment. Red flags right, only if they would have been looked into.

 I feel the company should be held accountable they created that environment for not only her but the other females on that base. It is time they finally take responsibility for some of actions of their employee&#039;s.</description>

<p> I don&#8217;t feel it is KBR itself making a bad name for the company, it&#8217;s the people they hire. This guy knew somebody, that knew somebody that&#8217;s how he got hired. When you are personally requested of course they don&#8217;t do a full background check unless the position requires it. This guy got put out the Army on an other than honorable discharge, for inappropriate behavior. Had to resign from Korgers for sexual harassment. Red flags right, only if they would have been looked into.</p>
<p> I feel the company should be held accountable they created that environment for not only her but the other females on that base. It is time they finally take responsibility for some of actions of their employee&#8217;s.</p>

		<description>Sharon: I’m going with the boys on this one.

 I did work an ex-con who had belonged to an outlaw Texas biker gang called the Bandidos whose rivals were the Hell Angels. He was convicted for selling Meth and did a few years in prison. He was quiet and stubborn as a mule and most didn’t like him for obvious reasons. 

He said he informed the recruiter at the time during his recruitment in 2003 he had recently completed parole. He said he had to inform his employer as a part of his parole agreement. If this was true or not I don’t know. This is what he told me and seemed somewhat believable, when asked about what he thought of his rivals, full well knowing a turf war had erupted a few years back. He stated some of his associates were killed shortly before his arrest and conviction. I felt this guy had paid his dues and did his time and was honest. I’m not saying I could trust this guy with $50 bill but that’s the way it was in Kandahar. This short story is nothing compared to serious nature of D.Breda’s offense.

In short, KBR does not perform adequate background checks unless your position requires a security clearance.</description>

		<description>&quot;Sharon said,on July 21st, 2009 at 5:36 am Jimbo said,on July 20th, 2009 at 6:57 pm BS! KBR does NOT do effective background checks. They check locally, nothing more.

..My husband has been working for KBR for the past two years. I know exactly what he went through BEFORE he was hired and have copies of all the paperwork. YES they do checks!!&quot;

Uh.excuse me. I worked for BRSC in the Balkans, and KBR in Afghanistan and Iraq- from 1999 to 2008. I have seen people who were hired just weeks after being released from a federal penitentiary. 

When I initially hired on in &#039;99, 6 guys flew to the Balkans with me. 1 week later, all 6 were terminated for being ex-cons. They had big mouths.

In 2003 we had a joker who was a pain in my a$$. Anthony was the perrenial screw-up and would not follow instructions. After being in Afghanistan for 5 months, we forced him out on R&amp;R. Anthony was arrested at the port-of-entry for parole violation.

1. KBR does NOT do effective background checks!
2. Just because your husband works for KBR, do not think you know more about that comapny than I.</description>

		<description>It is frustrating to those who have tried to do the right thing and have been chastised by management to have these types of issues swept under the rug. Most people have a sense of justice and judicial prudence. To have these compromised, offends those who were taught common decency and strikes to the core of one’s integrity.</description>

		<description>Sharon. We can talk about the Government and even the military but that would take a lot more posts, I do not feel that exposing wrongs is truly considered bashing though there are some who delight in such. If such were so why would e have courts? We could simply have a shouting match and a community vote whether they believe the party is innocent or guilty. I find this site to be a good place to find information on what is going on and where to file reports when KBR have refused or failed to take action or even investigate.

I knew some who had their Juvenile records sealed but they were requisitioned by others and the people I knew had to raise all kinds of hell t keep them sealed because they learned hard that a sealed record can be reopened with the right paperwork so sealing would be no safeguard what they had done in the past.</description>

		<description>I dont believe it is that simple to &quot;expunge&quot; your record.  There are certain critieria that must be met before that action can be taken.  For example, if you were wrongly convicted, or were a vicitim of identify theft.  It is possible, however, to have your record &quot;sealed&quot; but there are rules with that also.  In the case of a misdemeanor, five years must past, and if it is a felony, 10 years must pass.  You must file paperwork, and then a decision is made, either in your favor, or not.  

Also, WHY all the bashing of KBR, when the US Government has plenty of rapists and criminals in the armed forces????</description>

		<description>Nice comment, but I wonder how many of those who applied actually went the distance to conceal their records?</description>

		<description>It doesn&#039;t matter what kind of background check KBR did or did not do, a simple phone call to past employers asking if the person was eligible for rehire would have stopped many of the &quot;problem&quot; employees from ever going overseas in the first place.  

Simple solution, but not done on a regular enough basis or so it seems.  Instead KBR opted to spend the governments money in running criminal checks that can be easily hidden or removed if there was only one offense.  Just check with your state representatives . . if you write a letter your record can be expunged once in a lifetime.</description>

		<description>To Sharon: 

This is strictly about KBR’s background policy checks and not about your husband’s integrity. KBR has hired skilled and talented people and others that were not. Several of which I personally met and wondered how they ever made it in the first place. I trust your husband has integrity and is talented as well. 

It is difficult to comment on which procedures are implemented, if one is not personally involved in the background process as the investigating agency. There are several articles on Rape Profiling, which should be included into the Wabi test, if KBR still uses this pre-screening tool. KBR did stop at one point using the Wabi (Work Assessment Behavior Inventory) because people could not pass it. One small point, the WABI will not detect every perpetrator but it is a start. Personally, you have an idiot not to pass the WABI!

So in my opinion, KBR is liable for screening process and background checks and it’s employee’s and negligent in its behavior.</description>
