(Central News Agency, New York, 1st, Comprehensive foreign news) A male employee, now departed, at the renowned American investment bank JPMorgan (JPMorgan) has accused his female supervisor of sexually harassing him and drugging him to be her sex slave. JPMorgan, also a defendant in the case, told the "New York Post" that the former employee's claims are entirely fabricated.
The British "Daily Mail" first reported on April 29, citing court documents, that the anonymous plaintiff filed a complaint with the New York County Supreme Court on April 27, accusing Lorna Hajdini, 37, Executive Director of JPMorgan's Leveraged Finance team, of drugging him with powerful sedatives known as "FM2" (Rohypnol) and erectile dysfunction medication (Viagra). He further alleged that she threatened to cut his bonus if he did not comply, forcing him to become her "sex slave."
The report also stated that, according to court documents, the plaintiff claimed these coercive incidents began shortly after he joined the team in the spring of 2024; Hajdini even allegedly appeared suddenly at his residence, forcing him to engage in sexual acts.
The "New York Post" cited several sources reporting that the plaintiff is Chirayu Rana, 35, currently working for the American investment firm Bregal Sagemount. He filed an internal complaint with JPMorgan in May last year, alleging harassment and abuse of power based on his race and gender. He then attempted to negotiate a severance package amounting to "millions" of dollars.
Sources also indicated that Hajdini was not Rana's supervisor; they were merely colleagues within the Leveraged Finance team.
Hajdini's lawyer stated to the New York Post that she firmly denies the allegations against her, that she has never engaged in any improper conduct with the plaintiff, and has never been to the alleged site of the sexual assault.
Rana also accused JPMorgan Chase of failing to conduct a proper investigation and retaliating against him.
A spokesperson for JPMorgan stated that a thorough investigation by its HR department and internal legal counsel, including reviewing phone records and emails of the relevant team, found no evidence to support the plaintiff's allegations.
The spokesperson added: "Many employees cooperated with the investigation, but the complainant refused to participate (in the investigation) and declined to provide factual evidence that could be significant in supporting his allegations." (Edited by Zhang Zhengqian) 1150501
