This is so messed up

[odmxrls]

Okay, which is worse: how stupid you have to be to do this, how bad the manager is lying, or the fact that the strip searched girl got 6.1 million and the manager got $400,000 in a law suit.

(this may be old but I just found out about it)

Ridiculous. That manager was a liar, the girl is an idiot.

[eighttwelve]

what the ****. I don't get who was calling, how she got naked in the first place, and why they even listened to the caller. Stupid ****ing people. They're everywhere.

[DBerg649]

Wow... speachless. That manager should be in jail for sexual assault, that girl, well, she's dumber than sh*t but thats probably partially her parents fault. Instead of teaching their kids to blindly do everything grown ups tell you, they should teach their kids about self respect and standing up for yourself.

SHEPHERDSVILLE, Ky. -- A Shepherdsville jury has awarded $6.1 million to a former McDonald's employee who was strip-searched and sodomized in a back office at the behest of a caller impersonating a police officer.

Louise Ogborn's settlement includes $5 million in punitive and $1.1 million in compensatory damages.

The jury also found that McDonald's was 50 percent at fault in the case, as was the caller, which will affect the amount apportioned. The plaintiff's attorney said the settlement is likely to go to appeal.

The jury also awarded $1.1 million to a former assistant manager who strip-searched Ogborn.

Ogborn sued the company famed for its all-American image after being strip-searched, humiliated and sodomized in the office of its Mt. Washington store. A man impersonating a police officer called there in April 2004 and persuaded assistant manager Donna Summers that Ogborn, then 18, had stolen money from a customer.

The caller asked Summers to take Ogborn into a back room and strip search her. A security tape showed Ogborn, crying and covered only in an apron after the strip search, enduring further humiliation that continued for more than three hours.

According to court records and security camera tape, the caller’s requests became more bizarre as the situation proceeded. Eventually, Summers called her fiancé at the time, a middle-aged man named Walter Nix Jr., to come to the restaurant and guard the skinny teen while continuing with the caller’s demands while Nix went back to work.

According to the tape, Nix, while continuing the phone call, made Ogborn remove her apron, jog in place with her hands in the air, do jumping jacks, stand on a chair and, eventually, Nix began spanking her for several minutes at a time.

The taped showed Summers reentering the room several times, at which point Nix would throw the apron back to Ogborn and remove it again each time Summers left.

Eventually Nix ordered Ogborn to perform oral sex on him.

The abuse stopped when a second man, a maintenance worker at the store, was called into the room, picked up the phone and refused to follow the caller’s instructions.

Nix was later convicted of sex abuse, sexual misconduct and unlawful imprisonment and sentenced to five years after pleading guilty in the case.

Summers received probation after entering an Alford Plea to misdemeanor unlawful imprisonment charges. She sued McDonald’s concurrently with Ogborn for $50 million, though Ogborn filed suit against her and assistant manager Kim Dockery as well.

Florida correctional officer David Stewart, 37, was charged with making the phone call, which was one of many that Ogborn’s attorney claimed had been going on for 10 years.

Investigators said Stewart’s calls to some 70 stores in more than 30 states had led to criminal charges for more than one set of unwitting employees.

Mt. Washington police Detective Buddy Stump said that Stewart was “evidently pretty convincing.”

"He was just a slick con man," Stump said. "He'd end up talking the manager into doing a strip search on the employee. His conversations generally lasted for quite some time -- an hour-and-a-half to three hours."

Stump gathered the evidence against Stewart after he traced a phone card used in the call to a store in Florida. An investigator there found surveillance video of a man they thought was Stewart buying the card, wearing a corrections uniform, and Stump flew down to assist in the arrest.

Stewart was charged with impersonating an officer, soliciting a sexual act and soliciting sexual abuse – but eventually became the only person charged in the incident to be acquitted.

Defense attorney Steve Romines, a specialist in seemingly closed cases, took Stewart’s case. From the beginning, Romines insisted that it was unknown if the man shown on tape buying the calling card in question was actually Stewart.

Then, when investigators claimed to find a calling card at Stewart’s home used in another of the hoax calls, Romines argued that having the card didn’t mean Stewart actually made the call.

In the end, Romines convinced the jury that the evidence – which did not include any witnesses or a recording of the caller’s voice – was insufficient to convict Stewart.

"There are a lot of questions unanswered in this case," Romines told The Associated Press. "The only thing I knew for sure was my client didn't do it."

When asked about the multitude of other cases in which Stewart could be implicated, Romines told the AP “This is the best case they had and we saw how strong it was. If they want to charge him, bring it on.”

Even after the acquittal, prosecutor Mike Mann continued to insist Stewart made the call.

Meanwhile, Ogborn filed her lawsuits -- also naming Summers and another assistant manager. She claimed McDonald’s did not sufficiently warn its employees of the ongoing hoax calls. McDonald’s attorneys claimed that the company had, but managers at the Mt. Washington store failed to relay the information.

McDonald’s attorneys also said anyone in the store, including Ogborn, could’ve stopped the chain of events by refusing to cooperate.

“The person who ought to be punished in this case is the caller who's probably sitting somewhere these past three weeks following this case day by day and laughing at the havoc he's rendered in this courtroom,” McDonald’s attorney W.R. Patterson said.

Ogborn testified that she did not leave the restaurant because she was frightened and the man on the phone told her to cooperate.

After the trial, Ogborn said she felt closure, and intends to go to law school.

"Everybody is still suffering because of this," Ogborn's attorney said. "And now maybe McDonald’s will suffer a little in the pocketbook. The reality is, McDonald's is going to appeal this.”

Patterson addressed the media to thank the judge and jury and express disappointment in the verdict.

The jury found that Summers and the other manager were not liable in Ogborn's suits against them and awared Summers $1.1 million. Summers said she'd use her settlement to take care of her family

She's not smart enough for law school.

Here's a story that tells of the verdict being upheld in appeals court and the money being award the the manager, Donna Summers.

$6M verdict upheld in McDonald's strip search case - Louise Ogborn - Zimbio (http://www.zimbio.com/Louise+Ogborn/articles/cOeg78Lbkxe/6M+verdict+upheld+McDonald+strip+search+case)

The same jury awarded $1.1 million to Donna Summers, a former McDonald's assistant store manager who also sued the fast-food chain. Summers, who had asked the jury to award her $50 million, led the strip search of Ogborn at the direction of the hoax caller. Summers was fired and claimed she was traumatized. She underwent counseling after the incident.
The appeals court knocked down the award to Summers to $400,000, saying the amount granted by the jury was unconstitutionally high. Summers, who was engaged to Nix at the time of the assault, was placed on probation for a misdemeanor conviction related to the incident


There's a uncensored portion of the servalence video at liveleak.com. She sits on a table and lets him look in her with a flash light for hidden money. :-/ It looks like she is "playing" a little to. Then during parts of it she is picking at her nails while she waits for him. I don't know if they were smart enough to plan on getting money, but I can't believe they didn't know this wasn't right.

[DBerg649]

You know Odmxrls, you're prolly on to something there. Either these people really are competing for the title of dumbest person in the world, or it's a big scam set up by them. I find it hard to believe that anyone could actually be that f'n retarded.

[Jarid332]

why did the blur out all the good stuff..

[eighttwelve]

wait, so the manager got money out of this? That's ****ing retarded. Only in America...

odmxr, I'm inclined to agree that something's fishy about this, because you have to be borderline retarded to not just walk out of the ****ing place as soon as the call came in. "You want me to what? Go **** yourself."

Even if this story is true (I have a hard time buying it), I really don't have much sympathy for the girl. You have to be dumber than a box of hammers to do the things she did. "My parents told me to do whatever an adult tells me" ???? They didn't say go down an old guy in the back of a McDonald's. Common sense has to kick in somewhere, and she obviously has none.

Man Donna Summers has really hit rock bottom. Myabe she can use the money to mount a comeback tour
