## Summary

Laura Danbom, an Amazon marketing manager, has sued the company over its handling of her allegation that a senior manager raped her after a company-funded event in New York in 2023. Her civil complaint says Amazon’s investigation was inadequate and that she was pressured to keep quiet and continue working with the manager; the case raises questions about workplace responses to sexual assault allegations.

According to the lawsuit, Danbom reported the alleged assault to police and Amazon, and underwent a rape kit examination. Amazon later said it could not substantiate her claim because of a lack of evidence, while her lawyers argue it failed to interview witnesses she told soon afterwards. Danbom remains employed by Amazon in a different department and alleges the company violated Washington’s Silenced No More Act and created a hostile work environment.
