After a federal judge dismissed Sam Altman’s sister’s civil lawsuit accusing the OpenAI chief executive of sexually abusing her more than two decades ago, Annie Altman filed her amended complaint in St. Louis federal court.
U.S. District Judge Zachary Bluestone said last month Annie Altman cannot pursue sexual assault and sexual battery claims over her brother’s alleged abuse between 1997 and 2006, because those claims expired in 2008, but the Missouri statute allows some accusers to sue over alleged abuse from long ago.
He said Annie Altman will be allowed to file an amended complaint stating a claim under Missouri’s Childhood Sexual Abuse statute, which is what she did Wednesday morning.
Lawyers for Sam Altman did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Annie Altman has accused her brother of sexually abusing and raping her at various times between 1997 and 2006 at the family home in suburban Clayton, Missouri. She said the abuse began when she was three and he was 12. Sam Altman is now 40.
Sam Altman’s defamation counterclaim stemmed from posts between 2021 and 2024 on social media, including X and TikTok, where Annie Altman referred to alleged abuse, usually without mentioning his name. These included videos that said she was “touched by older siblings” and that “an almost tech billionaire” molested her.
The Altman family has said Annie Altman has mental health challenges. In a court filing, Sam Altman said his family has been helping her, including financially, but that her lawsuit amounted to extortion.
Sam Altman co-founded OpenAI. He became a face of the artificial intelligence boom after the AI chatbot ChatGPT was released in 2022. Forbes magazine says Sam Altman is worth $3.3 billion.
