Abstract: For each $ 2 \leq n \leq \infty$, we construct an uncountable family of free ergodic measure preserving actions $\alpha_t$ of the free group $\mathbb{F} _n$ on the standard probability space $(X, \mu)$ such that any two are nonorbit equivalent (in fact, not even stably orbit equivalent). These actions are all ``rigid'' (in the sense of Popa), with the II$_1$factors $L^\infty(X, \mu)\rtimes_{\alpha_t} \mathbb{F} _n$ mutually nonisomorphic (even nonstably isomorphic) and in the class $\mathcal{H}\mathcal{T}_{_{s}}.$
