Ex-Associate Sues Rudy Giuliani, Alleging Rape, Abuse and Harassment
--------------------------------------------------------------------

In New York, a $10 million lawsuit filed Monday against former New York
City mayor and Donald Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani alleges he raped and
harassed a former associate over the span of two years. The suit was
filed by Noelle Dunphy, who says Giuliani hired her in 2019 promising an
annual salary of $1 million, but instead repeatedly sexually assaulted
her. She also accuses Giuliani of being constantly drunk, making racist
and sexist remarks and antisemitic comments - many of which were
recorded. Giuliani also allegedly plotted to sell pardons for $2
million, to be split between him and former President Trump, and asked
Dunphy to refer anyone who needed one.
