JPMorgan Exec Claims in Lawsuit Female Boss Drugged Him, Forced Him to Have Sex

Key Points:

• A JPMorgan Chase senior VP, identified as John Doe, filed a lawsuit accusing his female boss, Lorna Hajdini, executive director of the bank's Leveraged Finance division, of sexual harassment and coercion, including forcing him into non-consensual sex acts and drugging him with date rape drugs.
• Doe alleges that Hajdini used her power to threaten his career, made inappropriate sexual advances, and subjected him to humiliating behavior, starting in spring 2024 when they began working together.
• The plaintiff claims that after he reported the alleged abuse, JPMorgan Chase placed him on involuntary leave, damaging his reputation while Hajdini faced no punishment.
• Lorna Hajdini denies all allegations, stating she never engaged in inappropriate conduct or visited the location of the alleged assault, while JPMorgan Chase says their investigation found no merit in the claims, noting the complainant refused to cooperate or provide supporting facts.
• Doe is seeking damages for lost earnings, emotional distress, and reputational harm as a result of the alleged misconduct and subsequent treatment by the bank.
