A doctor from Ukraine is suing because of harassment at the New York Medical Center

Dr. David Zagzag, head of the neuropathology department at New York University Langone, is accused of forcing his subordinate from Ukraine for a long time to have sex in the workplace in exchange for a positive assessment of her work.

Irina Mikolaenko got a job at the department of neuropathology, which Zagzag managed, after graduating from Harvard in 2012. The chief, who was married and raised two children, immediately began to molest a new employee, who was also married and raised children.

The lawsuit states that Mikolaenko had to agree to have sex with her boss because, due to “financial difficulties at home,” she could not lose her job.

As the victim’s lawyers emphasize, Zagzag made it clear to her that repulsing his harassment would mean bad reviews about her work and subsequent dismissal.

It came to sex in the workplace, in the laboratory, where the head lured Mikolaenko.

Early last year, he stormed into her office and demanded “closeness,” allegedly before speaking to senior management about her performance. “If you want to get a good grade, we have to have sex,” the NY Post quotes Zagzag as saying.

After the refusal, Mikolaenko was fired a week later.
