According to the lawsuit filed against Lorna Hajdini in New York, the abuse started after Lorna joined the plaintiff's team as a senior in April 2024. The court documents claim that she made repeated sexual advances toward John and linked his professional future at JPMorgan to fulfill her demands. At the same time, the complaint states that she allegedly threatened him about bonuses, promotions, and long-term career growth if he refused her demands. He also accused her of forced sexual encounters, racial slurs, drugging him with a date-rape substance, and humiliating treatment.
What will happen next with Lorna Hajdini and JPMorgan?
JPMorgan has strongly denied the allegations against Lorna Hajdini. The Daily Mail reported that a bank spokesperson said their internal investigation found "no merit" in these claims. At the same time, they have found no proof to support the allegations. The bank also mentioned that multiple employees cooperated in their review, but the complainant refused to participate. In fact, he did not give any information to support his allegations. Meanwhile, Lorna has maintained her silence on the lawsuit.
Legal experts suggest that after the bank's internal review, Lorna and the bank would file formal court responses. If the court allows the case to proceed, it would move into the investigation phase, where both sides would provide information, statements, and digital records to support their claims. It could involve reviewing internal company logs, communications, and any medical evidence related to drugging. If both parties cannot settle the case, it would proceed to trial, and a judge would decide.
