Sterling accused of sex demands by staff

A lawsuit filed against Donald Sterling accuses the embattled Los Angeles Clippers owner of repeatedly subjecting a woman who worked for him to sexual demands and racist comments and says he fired her when she protested.

An attorney for Sterling, Bobby Samini, rejected the assertions, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Sterling, 80, has been banned for life by the National Basketball Association over racist remarks in a private conversation that were recorded secretly and leaked to the media. Last week, the NBA, seeking to terminate Sterling’s team ownership, said it had reached an agreement to sell the Clippers. Sterling has mounted a legal challenge.
