The San Francisco Chronicle reports that a former Oracle Corp employee who won a $100,000 out-of-court settlement with the Redwood City, California-based company in February 1995 has been charged with felony perjury for allegedly lying and falsifying an e-mail message she used as evidence in the wrongful termination suit. Adelyn Lee’s 1993 lawsuit alleged that Oracle fired her after she refused to have sex with president and CEO Larry Ellison. Key evidence included an email supposedly from her immediate boss, Oracle VP Craig Ramsey, telling Ellison that he had complied with the Oracle CEO’s request to fire Lee. The paper reports the email was faked by Lee who used Ramsey’s password to send the incriminating message to Ellison. Car phone records reportedly show that Ramsey could not have created the email because he was driving his car when it was sent to Ellison.
