A JPMorgan Executive Was Accused of Turning a Coworker Into Her "Sex Slave." Then the Story Started Falling Apart
Yahoo • • business
Key Points:
- Lorna Hajdini, a JPMorgan executive director in Leveraged Finance, was accused in a lawsuit by a former colleague of drugging and sexually assaulting him, allegations she and her attorneys categorically deny.
- The accuser, identified as Chirayu Rana, claimed Hajdini controlled his career, but reporting shows they were in different chains of command, and she had no influence over his compensation or promotion.
- JPMorgan investigated the complaint, reviewing communications and interviewing staff, but found no merit as the accuser declined to participate; prior payout negotiations also failed before the lawsuit was filed.
- The lawsuit quickly became public and widely covered, including by Megyn Kelly and various media outlets, leading to significant reputational damage for Hajdini despite no legal resolution yet.
- The case remains active with both sides denying the allegations; Hajdini continues working quietly while her name is linked to serious accusations in the public domain.
