Lawsuit Filed Against OpenAI CEO Sam Altman Alleging Sexual Assault

Investing.com -- A lawsuit has been filed against OpenAI CEO Sam Altman by his sister Ann Altman in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri. The lawsuit, filed on Monday, alleges that Sam Altman sexually abused his sister regularly from 1997 to 2006.

It is stated that the alleged abuse occurred at the family home in Clayton, Missouri. The lawsuit claims that the abuse began when Ann, also known as Annie, was three years old and Sam was 12 years old. According to the allegations, the abuse happened several times a week, initially starting with oral sex and later involving penetration.

The lawsuit claims that the plaintiff has experienced severe emotional distress, mental anguish, and depression as a direct result of the alleged sexual assaults, with expectations that these conditions will continue in the future.

This is not the first time Ann Altman has made such allegations against her brother. She has previously made similar allegations on various platforms, but this is the first time she has taken the matter to court. Ann Altman is represented by attorney Ryan Mahoney from an Illinois-based firm specializing in sexual assault and harassment cases.

The lawsuit seeks a jury trial and demands compensation exceeding $75,000.

In response to the allegations, Sam Altman, along with his mother Connie and siblings Jack and Max, issued a joint statement. They denied the allegations, stating that Ann Altman's claims are "deeply hurtful and entirely false." They also noted that the situation has caused great pain to their family. The statement further mentioned that Ann Altman has experienced mental health issues and rejected traditional treatment, often lashing out at family members who attempt to help her.
