Casino mogul Steve Wynn allegedly forced an employee into having sex with him and created a “sexualized” workplace, the Wall Street Journal reported Friday.
Mr. Wynn had a pattern of this behavior spanning decades, according to the article, and including a $7.5 million in 2005 to settle a complaint with a manicurist.
Mr. Wynn, who currently serves as finance chairman for the Republican National Committee, denied the allegations.
“The idea that I ever assaulted any woman is preposterous,” he told the Wall Street Journal.
He said the revelations came from his ex-wife, who recently filed a lawsuit to renegotiate the terms of their divorce.
Wynn Resorts shares dropped by just over 6 percent Friday after the report came out, according to Market Watch.
