Judge Dismisses Lawsuit Against Sam Altman Alleging Sexual Abuse
A U.S. District Court judge dismissed a lawsuit filed by Ann Altman against her brother, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, who was accused of childhood sexual abuse. The case had been ongoing since last year but was ultimately dropped with prejudice, meaning it cannot be refiled in the same court. Judge Zachary Bluestone cited procedural failures on Ann's part, including missing deadlines and not appearing for an independent medical examination. Sam Altman and his family previously denied all allegations as false and damaging to their reputation. The judge also rejected Sam’s request for attorney fees but granted the dismissal with prejudice. Ann’s former lawyer stated he no longer represents her in this case but expressed continued support for her cause.
