A Georgia rape victim was awarded $1 billion in whats believed to be the largest jury verdict ever handed down in an American assault case, according to reports Friday.
Its one of the biggest victories for women in the United States, Chris Stewart, a lawyer for victim Hope Cheston, said at a press conference.
They said a little black girl in Clayton County who was raped is worth $1 billion. That was a big win for us, he said, according to the local station 11alive.com.
Cheston was 14 years old and visiting a friend October 2012 when she was attacked by apartment security guard Brandon Lamar Zachary in an Atlanta suburb, according to court documents cited by the station.
A civil jury ruled Tuesday that the security company that hired the guard, Crime Prevention Agency, must fork over the massive payout because it failed to properly monitor their violent worker, who had a history of bad behavior, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Sexual assault is sexual assault. Its not right, and it needs to be punished, Cheston, 20, said after the verdict, according to USA Today.
Its life-changing to know the jury understands her pain, she said.

Seriously? a billion dollars? Might as well make it a billion * a billion
Former shareholders will probably be sued
LOL. And because of all the black guys in prison, the Feds pushed for laws to force companies to stop background checks and make them hire ex cons or be charged with discrimination.
Former shareholders will probably be sued
But as Whoopie would ponder... Was it rape rape?
The verdict is just a message from the jury to the judge that they want the company severely punished.
Rape is about power and control
I'll bet that asset lien was filed in record time.
Liberals undermine employers’ ability to enforce standards like “safe employee” by saying “you’re not allowed to check criminal records of applicants”.
That too.
How about we stop defining this criminal act from the perverts position and call it an assult, often violent.
Frankly we say more about the criminals than we do the victim being assulted.
Grammar Alert!
If they're driven into bankruptcy the victim might not get a dime.
If I could actually collect on an award like that, I would volunteer to be raped. The point is that virtue signaling juries that award damages to make an emotional or political point, rather than recompense actual loss, are a danger to justice.
The jury had to be “whistlin’ Dixie”. No way will the victim get anything close to a billion.
"...I would volunteer to be raped..."
Read this last night. $1 Billion dollar judgement against a company that has already gone out of business. Virtue posturing is all this is.
In another report, they went out of business in 2016.
They said a little black girl in Clayton County who was raped is worth $1 billion. That was a big win for us,”
Funny, not mention of the perp in the artivle.
Brandon Lamar Zachary
F'in race pimps.
