Bought and paid forProminent Silicon Valley investor denies he kept a sex slave for 13 years
In a case that’s almost too strange to be true, even for far-out Silicon Valley, venture capitalist Michael Goguen admitted in court papers Monday that, yes, he paid the first $10 million of a $40 million contract to the woman he had a sexual relationship with for 13 years and who was not his wife; but, no, she was never his “sexual slave” and he only agreed to sign the unusual contract because he worried about a “shakedown” featuring “false and libelous claims” of abuse.
But then Goguen failed to pay up. Some $30 million remains on the contract today. Both sides agree on that, at least.
I say charge this silicon guy a with 200% income taxBaptiste’s breach of contract lawsuit, filed last week in San Mateo County District Court in California, accused Goguen of “sexually, physically and emotionally” abusing her. She alleged that she endured the treatment because Goguen promised to free her from the human traffickers holding her in perpetual debt. The contract, according to Baptiste’s lawsuit, was intended to compensate her for the years of abuse.
