Cori Green is a former private military contractor employee and victim of gang-rape while stationed in Iraq, which instead of getting justice for, the company, Battle Tested Security, fired her over to bury the reports.
Background[]
Cori was stationed in Basra, Iraq, where she didn't look upon her colleagues as wonderful, but at the beginning professional for their jobs. She reportedly had a better work rapport with Wally Burton, which she hoped kept her steady and safe during her service. However, one night, there was a party the employees were throwing, and Cori was the only woman who never knew not to go. Ian Kent, one of the reconnaissance deputies, supplied Cori a drink that was spiked under the guise of her "loosening up". When the drug took affect, Kent carried her to his sleeping quarters, where Burton and two other employees, Matthew Baker and Edward Miller, were waiting. All four took turns repeatedly and violently gang-raping Cori, Cori slipping in and out of consciousness and struggling to breathe the entire way through the ordeal. Even when she insisted the four rapists "give her a break", the group just laughed and kept gang-raping her. The violence was bad enough Cori was left permanently infertile and grappled with debilitating PTSD that left her with nightmares and night terrors that woke her up screaming. She also contracted chlamydia from the gang-rape, which the rapists were also tested for.
The company silenced her with extreme measures, dragging Cori to and isolating her in an interrogation room with two armed guards. While holding her there for 72 hours straight, partly to make the biological evidence on her person, she was harassed and intimidated by the rapists' supervisor and the head of security on the base, Joe Marshall. Contradicting the lie of "protecting" her from holding her captive, Marshall made her swear she wouldn't sue the company. One of the guards, George Coleman, was sympathetic enough to Cori to offer her a cellphone to call her father, Special Operations vet Donald O'Keefe. O'Keefe demanded the base perform a rape exam on his daughter, which was carried out by Dr. Roush. After Cori was out of the company, she and O'Keefe went to state and justice departments for four years, but the cases were always rejected because Battle Tested was the world's worst and most powerful armed forces company, which the system feared to face. Cori was devastated, retiring to work at the Brooklyn Bread Bakery. O'Keefe was sympathetically traumatized with his daughter, heartbroken as much as he couldn't even touch his daughter lovingly again without her recoiling.
Official Story[]
O'Keefe got revenge by personally drugging and kidnapping William Rand, Battle Tested's CEO and founder, in a limo, then raping him with a baton and leaving him half-naked at a military memorial. When O'Keefe was peacefully arrested, he revealed his motives, which led to Cori being tracked and questioned. She unofficially gave her account, stating that on top of the gang-rape, the rapists' and company's impunity hit her with the worst trauma. She sat with the police and identified the rapists and accomplices through photographs.
Dr. Roush was tracked for grand jury testimony, but she perjured herself on the stand. When Coleman was tracked, Rand and his counsel, Virginia Pell, upped the ante with arranged executions. Coleman was fatally poisoned from force-fed alcohol, Cori was nearly brutalized to death but escaped with a broken wrist when a witness intervened, and O'Keefe was shived in prison, the shank narrowly missing his kidney by a fraction of an inch. Joe Marshall was part of the harassment campaign against police by assisting in ransacking Benson's apartment and personally threatening Amaro's family.
When Marshall and his family were near being executed since Marshall was a liability, he turned on the company and testified in front of the grand jury. The evidence of the gang-rape was recovered from the Iron Mountain storage unit with Marshall's information, and Rand and Pell were arrested shortly before hey were to take a helicopter to a yacht, which they would've voyaged outside of American extradition power. Cori was reassured no guilty parties would get away, and when O'Keefe was on Amaro's cell, he gave the phone to Cori. She emotionally rejoiced that they finally got them all and that she loved O'Keefe too. Once Rand and his accomplices were arrested, it's presumed the prosecutions of the rapists and all other privy parties was initiated. (SVU: "Official Story")
