Six More Women Say Odey Assaulted or Harassed Them, FT Reports

Six more women have approached the Financial Times with allegations of sexual assault or harassment against Crispin Odey, according to a report Friday.

(Bloomberg) — Six more women have approached the Financial Times with allegations of sexual assault or harassment against Crispin Odey, according to a report Friday.

The women came forward after the newspaper published a June 8 investigation into the hedge fund manager over a 25-year period that included claims from 13 women of sexual harassment or assault. The new accounts expand the time line of the alleged behavior to five decades, the FT said.

Odey didn’t respond to a request for comment from Bloomberg regarding the new allegations. A spokesperson for Odey Asset Management declined to comment.

Odey’s investment empire has been thrown into turmoil following the allegations. His asset manager is in the process of breaking itself up after several banks and investors cut ties, and the UK’s financial regulator is investigating whether Odey passes its ‘fit and proper’ test to operate in the financial industry
