Cleanup Worker Accused Of Rape

Cleanup worker accused of rape

A lack of screening of oil spill cleanup workers may have resulted in a convicted sex offender being charged with raping a co-worker. A CNN investigation into the incident reveals that basic background checks were not done on those hired to remove oil from the beaches in and around Pascagoula.

Senh: When it rains, it pours. This thing is turning into a circus. CEO axed, lawsuits and now - rape. Jeez.
