OpenAI CEO Sam Altman Denies Sexual Abuse Allegations by Sister Ann Altman, Seeks Jury Trial
Jan 8, 2025, 02:37 AM
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has been accused of sexual abuse by his sister, Ann Altman, in a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court in the Eastern District of Missouri. Ann alleges that the abuse occurred between 1997 and 2006, starting when she was three years old and Sam was 12, and continued into her adolescence. The lawsuit claims that the abuse took place at their family's home in Clayton, Missouri, and involved acts such as oral sex and penetration, occurring several times per week. Sam Altman, along with his mother Connie and brothers Jack and Max, issued a statement denying the allegations, describing them as 'utterly untrue' and expressing concern over Ann's mental health challenges. The family claims they have tried to support Ann financially and emotionally, but she has refused conventional treatment and continues to demand more money. Ann is seeking damages in excess of $75,000 and has requested a jury trial for emotional distress, mental anguish, and depression, which she claims resulted from the alleged abuse.
