A woman who accused American Apparel Inc Chief Executive Dov Charney of keeping her as a teenage sex slave could be forced to take her case to arbitration, rather than pursue it in court.
A judge said at a Brooklyn, N.Y., court hearing on Friday she may dismiss the lawsuit, which seeks $250 million. The Los Angeles clothing chain said the harassment case should be heard by an arbitrator, as required under two agreements it had with plaintiff and former store saleswoman Irene Morales.
An American Apparel lawyer says nude photos and salacious e-mails a former female employee sent to the head of the hipster company prove her lawsuit is bogus.
