Former Associate Accuses Rudy Giuliani of Sexual Assault
Rudy Giuliani is a name that needs no introduction in American politics. Known as the former mayor of New York City and former attorney to US President Donald Trump, the 76-year-old lawyer recently found himself in trouble once again. A former associate of Giuliani filed a lawsuit against him alleging that he sexually assaulted and harassed her.
Who is the Accuser?
The accuser, who filed the lawsuit anonymously, was identified only as “Jane Doe.” According to the lawsuit, she was hired by Giuliani Partners in 2020 to help with the former mayor’s consulting business. While working for him, she alleged that Giuliani engaged in sexually inappropriate behavior towards her. This included “unwanted touching, sexual advances, and offers of professional advancement in exchange for sexual favors.”
The Allegations
The lawsuit contained several disturbing allegations against Giuliani. Doe claimed that he pressed his body against hers and tried to kiss her without her consent. She also alleged that he touched her inappropriately and made suggestive comments. In addition, Doe accused Giuliani of creating a hostile work environment by constantly commenting on her appearance, asking about her sexual preferences, and insulting her. The lawsuit stated that Doe suffered emotional distress as a result of Giuliani’s actions.
Giuliani’s Response
Giuliani has denied all the allegations against him. In a statement, he called the lawsuit “completely false” and claimed that Doe was “trying to extort money” from him. He also accused her of being a pawn of the “radical left.” Giuliani’s lawyers have filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit, arguing that it lacks “merit” and is “frivolous.”
The #MeToo Movement Continues
The allegations against Giuliani have come at a time when the #MeToo movement is still going strong. The movement, which started in 2017, aims to raise awareness of sexual harassment and assault, particularly in the workplace. In recent years, many powerful men in various fields, including entertainment, politics, and business, have been accused of misconduct. The lawsuit against Giuliani is just the latest example of how the movement has emboldened victims to come forward and speak out against their abusers.
