Lori Park, who resigned from the New York-based company in July, said in the suit that she dated an executive of the company, Matthew Battles, who told her that she would be fired if she broke up with him.
Battles made sexual remarks about numerous female employees at the company, the suit says. When Park, 25, tried to complain to the human resources department, she was taken into a room by a Juno executive, Mark Moraes, and "kept there for eight hours straight and harangued and abused," the suit says.
In a statement, Juno said "we are confident that Juno treated Ms. Lori Park in a professional manner while Ms. Park was our employee. Our firm has strict policies and procedures to protect our employees against any mistreatment in the workplace."
Moraes declined to comment. Battles couldn't be reached for comment and is no longer with the company.
This is the second sexual harassment suit filed against Juno in New York in recent months. Lisa Bongiorno, another former employee, sued in August, claiming she was fired after she refused to continue having sex with Juno executive Jordan Birnbaum. Juno and Birnbaum have denied those allegations.
