JPMorgan fights Rana’s bid to drop explosive sex-slave suit

Former JPMorgan banker Chirayu Rana is attempting to withdraw his sensational state-court lawsuit accusing a supervisor of drugging him and forcing him into sexual servitude, but JPMorgan and Lorna Hajdini say the claims are materially false and accuse Rana of forum shopping and gamesmanship; the bank wants him to either stay in state court or refile under his real name in federal court, and is pressing for disclosures about alleged false evidence. Rana’s new lawyers say he will refile in federal court, setting up a contentious jurisdiction fight and potential accountability questions for the plaintiff.
