A City investment banker who made false claims that he had been sexually harassed by his female manager is now being sued by his old bosses - who want him to be found in contempt of court.
Damilare Ajao claimed the woman 'flirtatiously' told him she could 'see his underwear' while he worked for German finance giant Commerzbank in London in 2019.
Mr Ajao, who was sacked in November 2019, subsequently brought an employment tribunal claim against the bank, which included allegations of sexual harassment and sexual assault against the manager - who was identified in court only as 'Q'.
He claimed she made a sexualised comment about his string vest under his shirt and had tried to touch his designer belt.
But the case was thrown out by judge Anthony Snelson, who found the sexual harassment and assault allegations 'were false and in large part made up', and amounted to 'pure invention'.
Mr Ajoa was also handed a 60,000 legal costs bill.
Commerzbank AG is now taking the unusual step of suing Mr Ajoa in a bid to get him found in contempt of court, which could see him face up to two years in prison.
It comes after his former bosses said the 'made up' allegations against the female manager had caused such distress they had resulted in her developing a 'serious psychiatric illness'.
