Rebecca O'Brien, chief planning expert at Fort Ruke, received unwanted sexual text messages from her civilian supervisor, who pulled her hair back when they were on the stairwell and called her a "b."

Fort Lark, Alabama.

A female employee at an military base in Alabama received nearly $154,000 in compensation for sexual harassment, personal assault and retaliation by civilians and military officers.

According to a complaint she filed with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, Rebecca O'Brien, the chief planning expert at Fort Rucker, received an unwanted sexual text message from her civilian supervisor, who pulled her hair back when they were on the stairwell and called her a "b."

These events occurred in 2018 and 2019.

O'Brien also claimed that her civilian director Sean Sparks handed her a screw and said "this will make you feel better. I can do it for you" and inappropriately touched her calf in a meeting.

According to a complaint filed by O'Brien's lawyer and Kevin Owen of Gilbert's Employment Act, harassment is not limited to civilians.

According to the complaint, a major from the Alabama base stared at her chest, called her into the office, asked her to stand up, and turned to wait for him.

O'Brien faces retaliation after formally complaining about the act, including being declared vacancies the day after her first complaint.

She was also announced to leave her post without permission after reporting sexual text messages in September 2018, despite her doctor's certificate proving that she was absent.

In January 2019, Major Carl Warren staring at her breasts scolded O'Brien for being late the same day he testified in court.

In 2015, O'Brien, then the coordinator for drug and alcohol prevention at Fort Rucker, spoke at a workshop for base soldiers on how alcohol and substance abuse can fuel sexual abuse.

Last week, the administrative judge overseeing the case ruled that O'Brien lost $153,723 and attorney fees were about $247,000.

Equal Employment Opportunity Commission Administrative Judge Ross Parker also ordered the Army to provide 8 hours of “retaliation, gender-based discrimination and sexual harassment” training to Fort Lark’s supervisor and manager and “consider” disciplinary allegations against O’Brien’s civilian director Sean Sparks.
