Former Google CEO and tech heavyweight Eric Schmidt has been hit with explosive allegations from a former romantic partner. In a recent lawsuit, the woman accuses Schmidt of sexual assault, including an incident of rape, and engaging in a campaign of surveillance against her.
The complaint details a disturbing pattern of behavior, alleging that Schmidt utilized his vast resources to monitor her movements. Court documents suggest that this surveillance extended to hiring private investigators and utilizing advanced technology to track her, raising serious concerns about the power dynamics and privacy ethics within the highest echelons of Silicon Valley.
A spokesperson for Schmidt has vehemently denied the allegations, characterizing them as ‘false’ and part of a ‘shakedown’ attempt. Schmidt resigned from his position on the board of MIT earlier this year following revelations regarding his funding of extensive media operations, but these new criminal accusations mark a significant escalation in the legal battles surrounding his personal life.
