Ultraman's sister files revision lawsuit accusing of sexual abuse

Investing.com – Annie Altman filed an amended civil lawsuit on Wednesday in the U.S. Federal Court in St. Louis against her brother, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, after a judge ruled that she could bring claims under Missouri’s child sexual abuse laws.

The amended complaint was filed after a decision by U.S. District Judge Zachary Bluestone on March 20. The judge ruled that Annie Altman’s separately brought allegations of sexual assault and sexual battery had expired as of 2008. However, the judge noted that Missouri’s statute allows some claims to proceed regarding alleged abuse from years ago.

Annie Altman accuses her brother of sexually abusing and raping her at their home in the Clayton suburb of Missouri between 1997 and 2006. She said the abuse began when she was 3 years old and he was 12. Sam Altman is 40 years old.

Sam Altman denied the allegations and filed a defamation counterclaim against his sister. That defamation lawsuit concerns posts on social media by Annie Altman that allegedly relate to the abuse, including a video in which she claims a “would-be tech billionaire” groped her.

The Altman family says Annie Altman has mental health issues. In a court filing, Sam Altman said his family had been helping her, including providing financial support, but characterized her lawsuit as extortion.
