Bill Utt In Damage Control Mode

Kellogg Brown and Root Chairman sent out an email to employees about the Jamie Leigh Jones controversy.

"While the allegations raised by Ms. Jones are serious, after a review of the case KBR noted inaccuracies in the accounts of the incident in question, and disputes portions of Ms. Jones' version of the facts," Utt wrote in an e-mail obtained by the Houston Chronicle.

Perhaps can explained why the rape kit was missing for so long. Eyewitness Jamie Armstrong confirmed to ABC News that the rape kit was turned over to KBR.

Jones's attoneys had an apt response to Utt's email.

"Attacking the victim is the oldest trick in the book," said Jones' lawyers Stephanie Morris and Todd Kelly in a statement Thursday, responding to Utt's comments. "What is inconsistent is KBR's...statement that it takes the safety and security of its employees very seriously, then locks away the women who report violations."

Indeed.
