Sam Altman, CEO of ChatGPT maker OpenAI was recently accused by his sister Annie Altman of sexually abusing her for nearly a decade. As per the lawsuit, Annie alleged that the abuse took place during their childhood in Missouri, spanning from the late 1990s to the early 2000s. Now, Annie has amended the complaint. According to a report by Independent, Annie has now filed an amended complaint in St. Louis federal court accusing her brother of childhood sexual abuse, after a judge dismissed her earlier civil lawsuit.

Judge ruling in the Annie Altman case

US district judge Zachary Bluestone ruled last month that Annie Altman cannot pursue the sexual assault case and battery claims because the statute of limitations expired in 2008. However, he allowed her to refile the complaint under Missouri’s Childhood Sexual Abuse statute, which permits certain claims from long ago. Now, Annie Altman has submitted her amended complaint.
