It is the lawsuit that has gripped Wall Street – a 46-page filing packed with explosive and deeply contested allegations of sex, power and abuse inside JPMorgan Chase’s New York headquarters.
‘John Doe’, who has since been identified by the media as former investment banker Chirayu Rana, 35, has accused JP Morgan executive director Lorna Hajdini, 37, of coercing him into ‘non-consensual and humiliating sex acts’ over several months while they worked together in the bank’s leveraged finance division, according to a complaint filed earlier this month.
The filing includes claims of repeated druggings, racial abuse and encounters Rana alleges were forced despite his repeated pleas for them to stop.
JPMorgan Chase has denied the allegations, saying an internal investigation found no evidence of wrongdoing. Sources also told the Daily Mail the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office declined to pursue charges after a preliminary review.
Rana’s attorney, Daniel Kaiser, said his client has been left ‘personally and professionally destroyed’ by the alleged abuse and is now suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.
The Daily Mail was first to report on the lawsuit, which quickly went viral online – prompting a wave of memes, commentary and intense debate.
