Lorna Hajdini, a senior executive at JPMorgan, faces serious allegations of sexual harassment and abuse of power against a junior employee. The accusations include drugging the employee with ‘roofies’ and coercing him into non-consensual sex acts. This case raises significant concerns about workplace conduct in the finance sector.
The lawsuit claims that the harassment began in the spring of 2024 shortly after they started working together. The complainant alleges that Hajdini threatened his career if he did not comply with her advances. Additionally, she allegedly made racially abusive remarks towards him and his wife.
The complainant remains anonymous and has declined to provide supporting evidence for his allegations. However, he claims that Hajdini performed sexual acts against his will on multiple occasions. He also alleges that she groped him and made derogatory comments about his genitals.
