The founder of a tech firm advised by David Cameron has been accused of physical abuse and sexual harassment by a female employee.
Multi-millionaire Zia Chishti, 50, is the founder of software company Afiniti, which also employs Princess Beatrice as its vice-president of strategy and partnerships.
In written testimony to the house judiciary committee in the US,Tatiana Spottiswoode claimed that Mr Chishti beat her during sex on a 2017 work trip. She was only 23 years old at the time..
David Cameron advised the founder of a company that specializes in tech. A female employee has accused him of physically abusing and harassing another woman.
Afiniti offers artificial intelligence software to manage call centers.
The 55-year-old Mr Cameron joined the company in 2019 as chairman of the advisory board, two years after the incident.
The Daily Telegraph was told by a close source that the ex-prime minister did not learn about the claims until they were raised in Congress.
Initi also did not respond.
Miss Spottiswoode charged him with sexual assault of her and another ex-employee.
She said she had been ‘groomed’ as a 21-year-old on a ski trip. After he had hired her in 2016, she said he repeatedly forced her to have sex.
These claims could create new controversy following the collapse in Greensill finance company.
Cameron was able to escape punishment earlier in the year despite lobbying ministers privately to get access to an emergency loan plan for Greensill Capital.
