NEW YORK — The late and legendary music executive Ahmet Ertegun was accused of sexually abusing a female executive, with the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee charged in a Manhattan lawsuit with molesting the plaintiff during a helicopter ride and openly masturbating in front of her.
“I have lived with this trauma since I first experienced it at Atlantic Records,” victim Dorothy Carvello told the Daily News after filing suit. “I reported it to my direct supervisors, followed the protocols, and I was gone. The emotions were unbelievable — shock, sadness, depression.
“It only got worse. I was made to feel ashamed ... it affected me so much.”
