Wynn, the board of directors of Wynn Resorts and the company’s general counsel are listed as defendants. The shareholders accuse them of breaching their fiduciary duties.
The shareholders argue that the company’s “unwaveringly loyal” board “turned a blind eye to reports of sexual harassment and coercion.”
They claim that the board “through its action and inaction” allowed Wynn “to repeatedly coerce his female employees in sexual conduct.”
Wynn resigned as chairman and CEO of the company earlier this month.
Las week, another group of shareholders sued Wynn and the board.

As fallout from the allegations, Wynn also resigned as finance chairman of the Republican National Committee.
