CNN: Top United Nations official ‘forced himself on me,’ employee says
“A United Nations employee who says she was sexually assaulted by a top U.N. official has spoken publicly for the first time, alleging she was offered a promotion if she accepted an apology from the man and claiming that the organization failed to take her complaint seriously.

He denies the allegations…” (Krever, 3/30).
