I REFER to your story, “Lesbian soldier wins £190,000 Army payout” (Echo, Nov 27).
I understand that the sexual harassment that Lance Bombardier Kerry Fletcher was subjected to came from one soldier. I believe this could have easily been resolved by disciplinary action within the Army itself.
Therefore, I do not accept Miss Fletcher’s claim that her career has collapsed and it certainly does not justify a payout of £190,000 of taxpayers’ money.
This could now open the floodgates for thousands of similar claims.
Keith Dewison, Billingham.
