ENGINEER: IBM BOSSES FORCED HER TO HAVE SEX

An IBM engineer is suing the computer company over her claim bosses forced her to have sex with a Pentagon official so IBM could get millions of dollars in government funding.

Veronica Gunther, 35, alleged superiors threatened to fire her in 1991 and 1992 unless she maintained a sexual relationship with Gary Denman, director of the Pentagon's Advanced Research Projects Agency.

International Business Machines Corp. and two of Gunther's managers, Ray Blonn and Nancy Green, were named as defendants in the state court lawsuit filed Friday. It seeks unspecified damages. - Associated Press
