From Reuters:
NEW YORK, May 15 (Reuters) - A former associate of Rudy Giuliani is suing him for sexual assault and other wrongdoing, accusing Donald Trump's former personal lawyer of hiring her to fulfill his desire for a sexual relationship.
In a civil complaint filed on Monday in a New York state court in Manhattan, Noelle Dunphy said Giuliani began abusing her almost immediately after hiring her in January 2019 as a director of business development and making clear that satisfying his sexual demands was an "absolute requirement" of her job.
Dunphy also said Giuliani went on "alcohol-drenched rants that included sexist, racist, and antisemitic remarks" that made her work environment unbearable and firing her in January 2021 without paying salary she had agreed to defer.

This might be thanks to the success of the E. Jean Carroll case against TFG. Victims of Republican sexual assault now see that they can win in court.
Regardless, Giuliani definitely screams of the sort of boorish entitlement that would lead to accusations of sexual assault. The charges are not surprising.
This case is only one of dozens of reasons why Giuliani might be lying low these days. Godspeed to Noelle Dunphy.
Update 7:00pm ET — Business Insider has a doozy of an article up about this:
She says Giuliani had sex with her when she was too drunk to consent shortly after he hired her, on an evening when he required she stay over in a private guest suite at his Upper East Side apartment.
Giuliani demanded she drink Scotch with him, then barged into her suite as she emerged from the shower, she alleges.
"He sat on the bed and pulled down his pants," the lawsuit alleges. The complaint then features a still image from the film "Borat: Subsequent Moviefilm" in which Giuliani can be seen lying on the bed with his hand down the front of his suit pants. The film, the lawsuit says, portrayed "Giuliani acting in a similar manner to how he acted with Ms. Dunphy."
He grabbed her and forced her to give him oral sex, she said, during which, "Giuliani also smacked Ms. Dunphy in the face and then told her that the smack was "cute."

And it’s not just sex stuff. Dunphy says Giuliani asked for her help selling Trump pardons for two million dollars each. Also not surprising…
Update 7:30pm ET — A tidbit from Fortune Magazine:
Dunphy claimed in the lawsuit to have made numerous audio recordings of Giuliani, including some in which she says he can be heard making sexual comments, demanding sex and making sexist, racist, and antisemitic remarks.
