Former Tulsa Inmate's Testimony Continues In Federal Lawsuit

The woman suing the Tulsa County jail testified for most of the day on Friday.

She says she was sexually assaulted by a jailer when she was a 17-year-old inmate there in 2010.

The jail's attorneys say she's changed her story and only said she was raped after learning another person won $2 million in a jail lawsuit.

The woman denies that.

The woman admits she first told investigators there was no sex between her and the jailer, but did tell them he groped her, asked her for sex and exposed himself to her.

Almost two years later, after she filed her lawsuit, is when she said there was sex.

A psychologist testified assault victims often don't tell the entire story up front, that sometimes it takes a while for everything to come out.

She says the jail housed her in the medical unit where there's no cameras and a blind spot, which made it easy for the jailer to assault her without anyone seeing, and the jail knew it was a dangerous area and failed to protect her.

On the other hand, the jail says the medical unit is where they put people who need to be protected because they're away from other inmates and there's medical staff and guards walking around, checking on them constantly.

The psychologist testified the woman has PTSD from the jail assaults, but the jail's attorney's pointed out, she could have PTSD from earlier in her life, because she's been abused by her father, her mother's boyfriend, her own boyfriend, has been in and out of jail, has used pot and meth a lot and even lost custody of her child due to domestic violence.

We are not identifying the woman because it's always been our policy not to identify potential sexual assault victims.

The trial resumes on Monday.
