What We Know About JPMorgan's Filing in the 'Sex Slave' Suit

A New York court filing from JPMorgan Chase & Co. accuses a former banker who sued the firm and his ex-boss over alleged sexual abuse of persuading his sister and a friend to give false sworn testimony backing his claims, according to the New York Post.

The filing, submitted Monday night in Manhattan federal court, renews the bank's earlier allegations against Chirayu Rana and asks the court to impose what JPMorgan called "the most serious sanction available" in the case.

What is Chirayu Rana accusing his former boss of?

Rana sued in April, alleging that Lorna Hajdini, his supervisor at JPMorgan, coerced him into sex and dangled career advancement in exchange, the Post reported. His complaint accused Hajdini of forcing him into oral sex, grabbing his genitals, and threatening to "ruin" him if he refused to comply. Rana also accused JPMorgan itself of racism and of fostering an environment that allowed sexual harassment to occur, according to the filing described by the Post.

What does JPMorgan's new filing allege about his sister's testimony?

The bank says Rana recruited his sister, Chandani Rana, to corroborate his account. She initially swore under oath that she witnessed Hajdini kiss her brother on the neck and tell him, "I own you, Brownie," a remark the Post said echoed Rana's own allegations of racial denigration.

"I have never seen Ms. Hajdini engage in any inappropriate, sexual, harassing, threatening, or intoxicated conduct toward my brother or anyone else."

That statement, attributed to Chandani Rana earlier this month, represents a reversal of her earlier sworn account, according to the filing cited by the Post.

What role did Allan Flott play in the case?

A second witness, identified as Chirayu Rana's friend Allan Flott, had separately claimed that Hajdini pressed him to join Rana for a threesome in a bedroom at Flott's residence, allegedly telling him, "You know, I own Chirayu, so you'd better come join." JPMorgan's filing contends Flott was "led astray" by Rana, though the Post reported Flott has not withdrawn his account, unlike Chandani Rana.

How has Lorna Hajdini responded to the allegations?

Hajdini countersued in May, arguing that Rana's claims damaged her career and reputation, according to the Post. In a filing last month, she accused Rana of running a "deliberate and sustained scheme" to portray her as a racist sexual predator and a criminal. Both JPMorgan and Hajdini are now asking that Rana be ordered to cover their legal costs in the litigation, the Post reported.

What is the timeline of the case so far?

• April 2026 — Chirayu Rana files suit against JPMorgan and Hajdini, alleging coerced sex, retaliation and racial harassment.
• May 2026 — Hajdini countersues, alleging reputational and career harm.
• Early October 2026 — Chandani Rana retracts her earlier sworn statement supporting her brother's account.
• Monday, Oct. 26, 2026 — JPMorgan files a motion in Manhattan federal court renewing allegations that Rana orchestrated false testimony from his sister and friend, seeking severe sanctions.

What happens next in the litigation?

The case remains before a federal judge in Manhattan, where JPMorgan's sanctions motion is pending alongside the underlying lawsuit and countersuit. The Post reported that JPMorgan and Hajdini are seeking to have Rana held responsible for their legal expenses, a request that would depend on the court's findings regarding the disputed testimony. Neither the Post's report nor the court filing it cites includes a response from Rana's attorneys to the bank's newest allegations, and no hearing date was specified in the available filing.

The dispute centers on sharply conflicting sworn accounts — Rana's original claims of coercion, his sister's reversed testimony, and Flott's unretracted account — that a federal judge will ultimately have to weigh in deciding whether the case proceeds to trial or faces sanctions.
