Man accused of forcing employee to sign ‘sex slave’ contract

The San Francisco-based CEO of a tech company, Christian Lanng, has been accused of forcing his assistant into sexual slavery and abusing her. Lanng, the co-founder and former CEO of Tradeshift, allegedly made his assistant sign a contract that required her to be sexually available at all times and subjected her to years of sexual abuse. The assistant claims that she signed the contract out of fear of losing her job. Lanng denies the allegations, stating that the relationship was consensual but acknowledges that it was a mistake to hire someone he was romantically involved with.
