A sexual harassment lawsuit brought against James Brown by his former publicist, Jacque Hollander was dismissed by the 7th US Circuit Court Of Appeals in Chicago.
The three judges upheld a previous ruling that Hollander's legal action contravened the statute of limitations - as she launched her legal action in January 2005, claiming that Brown raped her at gunpoint in 1988.
Hollander had claimed that a doctor had diagnosed that a thyroid condition she developed was caused by the rape, thereby bypassing the two-year statute of limitations. But the judges ruled that she knew about her injuries immediately.
