"Judge says lawsuit in Petraeus scandal can proceed" | Associated Press September 16, 2014
WASHINGTON — A federal judge ruled Monday that a Florida woman can pursue her lawsuit alleging the government invaded her privacy in the scandal over former CIA director David Petraeus.
US District Judge Amy Berman Jackson said Jill Kelley of Tampa can move ahead with claims that the FBI and Defense Department violated her privacy when officials leaked information about her to the news media.
The ruling does not deal with the merits of the case, but as the lawsuit proceeds, it could reveal more about the role that various government agencies played as the scandal unfolded two years ago.
In 2012, Kelley complained to the FBI when an unknown person sent her harassing e-mails. Her complaint triggered a criminal investigation that led agents to Paula Broadwell, who was Petraeus’s biographer and had been having an affair with him.
Kelley’s name and some of the harassing e-mails were leaked to the news media amid the sensational disclosures about Petraeus, a former Army general. The leaks also linked Marine General John Allen, the commander of US forces in Afghanistan, as being under investigation for allegedly inappropriate communications with Kelley.
According to court filings by Kelley’s lawyers, the government falsely told one news outlet the e-mails between Allen and Kelley were the equivalent of phone sex.
I'm not surprised sickening perverts are at the top of the power structure.
The lawyers argued that it was likely that Kelley’s treatment was motivated by sexual discrimination.
