JPMorgan executive accused of sexually assaulting 'brown boy Indian' in New York lawsuit

A JPMorgan Chase spokesperson said an internal investigation found no evidence to support the allegations, noting that Hajdini remains employed at the firm; the complainant reportedly refused to participate and did not provide facts central to the claims.

The complaint was filed on Monday in the New York County Supreme Court by the plaintiff identified as John Doe, alleging harassment and sexual abuse, including drugging with the date rape drug 'roofies' on multiple occasions, racial abuse such as referring to the accuser as 'brown boy Indian,' and threats to his career. The lawsuit also accuses JPMorgan Chase of enabling the abuse, retaliating after he reported it, placing him on involuntary leave, damaging his reputation and failing to prevent threats, while Hajdini and others named faced no action. Two witnesses are cited in support.

The victim says he submitted a written complaint to JPMorgan Chase in May 2025 alleging discrimination, harassment and sexual abuse.

According to the complaint, the alleged misconduct began shortly after the victim joined JPMorgan Chase in 2024; the victim joined as senior vice president/director and Hajdini joined the team the following month. The plaintiff alleges repeated advances by Hajdini and threats to his promotion if he did not comply.
