November 2006 - For the second time in a week, the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office faces a claim of a deputy abusing an inmate at Orient Road Jail.
A federal lawsuit filed Friday alleges systemic violation of rights by jail employees.
Moore says that, in November 2006, a detention deputy beat Marcella Pourmoghani, causing brain injury and loss of consciousness.
Pourmoghani's suit comes just days after the Sheriff's Office made national news with the release of a videotape that showed a detention deputy dumping Brian Sterner, a quadriplegic man with spinal cord injuries, out of his wheelchair onto the floor. Moore said the timing of the suit is purely coincidental.
