AX IN SEX SLAP

Woman: I saw him pleasure himself & I got fired

- BY STEPHEN REX BROWN

Her boss was so whack she had to sue.

A female administra­tive assistant at a male-dominated investment bank walked in on her boss masturbati­ng in a conference room and was promptly fired, a new suit charges.

Logan Williams says her disgust with the boys culture at Marathon Capital took a mortifying turn on July 23 when she walked in on the company’s managing director, Chuck Hinckley, allegedly pleasuring himself in a conference room.

“Ms. Williams walked in and observed an extremely surprised look on Mr. Hinckley’s face. She looked down and saw Mr. Hinckley desperatel­y trying to push his penis back into his pants with his left hand. He was simultaneo­usly moving his computer mouse with his right hand, apparently in an effort to close whatever was open (probably pornograph­y) on his screen,” the suit filed in Manhattan Federal Court states.

Williams’ lawsuit includes screen

grabs of texts she sent days after the alleged incident.

“The New York office is not Chuck’s sexual playground!” she wrote. “He can’t even keep his wiener out of his hands from 9 to 5.”

She also claims she got a threatenin­g call from a protected number in which someone posing as a police officer told her to keep quiet or “something very bad will happen to you.”

Those texts and other communicat­ions with colleagues, according to her supervisor­s, violated a gag order as part of the bank’s internal investigat­ion of the incident. She was fired on Aug. 24.

“A hostile and discrimina­tory environmen­t was fostered at Marathon, a company run entirely by men, because of its leaders’ willingnes­s to look the other way and put profits over a safe work environmen­t. No women should ever be subjected to the outrageous conduct Ms. Williams endured, and we look forward to vindicatin­g her rights in federal court,” attorney Michael Willemin said.

Efforts to reach Hinckley were unsuccessf­ul.

“It is unfortunat­e that our former employee has resorted to making baseless allegation­s that are nothing more than a desperate attempt to extract an undue payment. Marathon Capital adheres to the highest standards of profession­al conduct and we will defend ourselves vigorously,” a Marathon spokeswoma­n said.
