Toy firm chief 'raped executive in car'

A marketing chief is suing German toy maker Steiff for $80m (€58m) , accusing the company’s chief executive of raping her in a car during a campaign of unwelcome advances that she said went on for years.

Jane Collins’ lawsuit said the prestigious company, known for its teddy bears and other stuffed animals, did nothing to stop Martin Frechen’s “extreme and outrageous conduct”, despite her repeated complaints.
