The woman alleges her supervisor, Maria Zhang, forced her to have “oral and digital” sex and threatened she would “take away everything from her” if she resisted.
High-ranking Yahoo executive Maria Zhang has been named in a lawsuit from an employee accusing the supervisor of sexually harassing her, the San Jose Mercury-News reports.
Principal software engineer Nan Shi says that industry veteran Maria Zhang, who leads Yahoo's mobile content development team, forced her to have "oral and digital" sex with her against her will.
"Zhang told Plaintiff she would have a bright future at Yahoo if she had sex with her," the suit alleges. "She also stated she could take away everything from her including her job, stocks, and future if she did not do what she wanted."
The lawsuit, filed Friday, names Yahoo as a defendant and charges Zhang with sexual harassment, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and wrongful termination.
The two women both came to Yahoo after the software giant bought Zhang's Seattle-based mobile software start-up where Shi also worked, her attorney told the Mercury News.
Shi said under orders from Zhang, she moved into the Yahoo temporary housing, and her supervisor soon moved in with her. The alleged harassment then took place, she said.
