A former JPMorgan Chase employee, who alleged he was raped and sexually assaulted by a colleague, Lorna Hajdini, sought guidance from an online legal-advice chatbot months before filing his explosive lawsuit.
The chatbot conversation, which was posted on AskALawyerOnCall.com in July last year, showed the self-identified victim discussing allegations of sexual assault, workplace retaliation, and drug use connected to a former employer.
During the conversation, the user allegedly wrote, 'I was raped, sexually assaulted, harassed, and forced to do drugs by my former boss at Morgan Stanley.'
The chatbot adviser, operating under the username 'Joycelaw', connected the victim to a legal adviser and discussed possible legal action, including filing a workers' compensation claim.
The lawsuit, filed anonymously by 'John Doe' before being withdrawn for corrections, accused Hajdini of coercive sexual abuse, claiming she turned him into her 'sex slave' through threats, drugs, and intimidation.
Hajdini has strongly denied the allegations through her attorneys, stating she never engaged in any inappropriate conduct with the individual and has never been to the location where the alleged sexual assault supposedly took place.
