A lawsuit reportedly alleges a senior female banker coerced a male coworker using threats, drugs, and career leverage
A senior female JPMorgan Chase executive is being sued for allegedly turning a married male banker into her “office sex slave” over the course of several months, threatening his career to force compliance, The Sun has reported.
According to legal filings cited by the outlet, Lorna Hajdini, 37, drugged, sexually assaulted and coerced a junior colleague into “non-consensual and humiliating sex acts.”
The accuser, who has opted to go by the name John Doe, claims the abuse began shortly after Hajdini joined his team in April 2024 and escalated rapidly from unwanted touching to explicit coercion.
”If you don’t f**k me soon, I’m going to ruin you… I f**king own you,” Hajdini reportedly threatened.
The executive also reportedly admitted to drugging the accuser with a “date rape drug” and gave him substances affecting sexual performance, while leveraging her senior position to control his bonuses, promotions and future at the bank.
JPMorgan Chase has rejected the claims, saying an investigation found no evidence to support the allegations, The Sun wrote.
Court records on the New York State Courts Electronic Filing system (NYSCEF) show that a summons and complaint were submitted on Monday in New York County Supreme Court, listing “John Doe” as the plaintiff and JPMorgan Chase and Lorna Hajdini as defendants. However, the publicly available entry does not include details on the substance of the allegations.
The claims come amid broader legal and reputational challenges facing JPMorgan, including the fallout from its long-running ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Lawsuits alleged the bank “turned a blind eye” to red flags such as large cash withdrawals and kept Epstein as a client for years after his 2008 conviction, as well as providing the “financial infrastructure” for his sex trafficking operation. JPMorgan paid $290 million and $75 million in 2023 to settle the claims without admitting wrongdoing.
In January, US President Donald Trump filed a $5 billion lawsuit, accusing JPMorgan of “debanking” him and his businesses for political reasons, claims the financial institution has rejected and is seeking to dismiss in court.
