Christian Lanng, the former CEO of the San Francisco-based firm Tradeshift, is facing grave accusations from an ex-assistant who alleges years of sexual abuse, according to a report by The Mercury News<\/a>.<\/p>\n Back in October, Tradeshift<\/a>, recognized as a tech \u201cunicorn\u201d with a staggering $1.1 billion valuation in 2018, made public the termination of Lanng, citing \u201cgross misconduct\u201d after purported allegations of sexual assault and harassment surfaced.<\/p>\n According to the lawsuit filed in San Francisco County Superior Court, Doe was subjected to a harrowing reality characterized by \u201cyears of rape, sexual abuse, torture, and assault\u201d under what she describes as a \u201cslave contract.\u201d<\/p>\n Allegations of sadomasochistic acts perpetrated by Lanng include \u201cinflicting physical pain on her by various means, urinating on her and routinely penetrating her person with foreign objects.\u201d<\/p>\n Source: Flicker<\/p>\n The Mercury News<\/a> reported:<\/p>\n Doe claims she told Tradeshift\u2019s human-resources department and company officials about her \u201csuffering at the hands of the CEO under the slave contract,\u201d but instead of protecting her, Tradeshift, which has offices in London, Tokyo, Paris and seven other international locations, fired her in 2020. Tradeshift did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the lawsuit, filed Thursday in San Francisco County Superior Court. The lawsuit does not make clear how long Doe worked at Tradeshift. Lanng claimed in his statement that Doe never filed a complaint, \u201cformal or otherwise,\u201d to Tradeshift\u2019s HR department or board.<\/p>\n Among the many purported provisions of the contract are that Doe, \u201cAlways be sexually available for her master when he needs sex and to never refuse him sex even when not wearing the collar,\u201d and, \u201cWhenever she sees her master in private for the first time, she is to kneel and ask if there is anything she can do for him.\u201d<\/p>\n Under the purported \u201cat work\u201d section of the alleged contract, Doe was free to \u201cact independently as long as she remembers she is her master\u2019s property and she is there to please him and for no other reason.\u201d<\/p>\n Other alleged provisions detail mandatory sex acts. The purported document also allegedly required Doe to dress in \u201ca proper, feminine way, preferably skirts, dresses and stockings,\u201d to keep her weight between 130 and 155 pounds, and noting her weight weekly in a spreadsheet shared with Lanng. Doe was allegedly required to wear her \u201cday collar\u201d when out with Lanng.<\/p>\n Allowed under the alleged contract is \u201cany punishment the master decides to inflict, whether earned or not,\u201d including spanking, caning, slapping, humiliation and electric shock, although the purported document noted the \u201cmaster\u2019s responsibility\u201d to avoid killing Doe or committing permanent bodily harm.<\/p>\n Despite these severe accusations, Lanng has categorically refuted all claims made in the suit. In a recent statement, he emphasized that these allegations are \u201ccategorically false\u201d and stated that he believes there is a malicious intent to distort what he characterizes as a consensual private relationship for financial gain.<\/p>\n \u201cThe shocking and vile claims in the lawsuit are categorically false, and I reject allegations that I subjected someone to any form of abuse during my tenure as CEO or at any other time of my life,\u201d he said in a statement.<\/p>\n \u201cA highly distorted version of the extremely intimate details of a private consensual sexual relationship is now not only in the public domain but also being used to defame me for personal financial gain,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n Lanng contrarily notes that his relationship with Doe was personal and consensual, disassociated from company policy. He admits only to the impropriety of hiring someone he was romantically involved with. Doe counters this defense, with the lawsuit detailing Lanng\u2019s demands for writings in a \u201cdiary\u201d documenting her subservience.<\/p>\n In his X account, Lanng advocated for \u2018International Women\u2019s Day\u2019.<\/p>\n Happy International Women\u2019s Day to all the brave, amazing women fighting for peace and a better world, you are an inspiration! #IWD2022<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Christian Lanng (@christianlanng) March 8, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n\n Lanng is also being recognized as a vehement critic of Donald Trump and Elon Musk. His X account is filled with anti-Trump posts.<\/p>\n Below are some of the posts:<\/p>\n So everyone is agreeing that Trump was a giant traitorous asshole, but that to prosecute him for insurrection would create a bad precedent for future assholes who would use abuse the system even more, maybe let\u2019s not vote in the assholes<\/p>\n \u2014 Christian Lanng (@christianlanng) June 26, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n\n Trump is a racist asshole, the Spanish Flu came from Kansas, but US kept it secret until Spain could be blamed, also China already banned wet markets https:\/\/t.co\/VOvW7w1SZ6<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Christian Lanng (@christianlanng) March 17, 2020<\/a><\/p>\n\n Trump incites mob?
