A federal judge [in New York] has struck down Dentsu's motion to dismiss a sexual harassment and discrimination suit filed by former creative director Steve Biegel... the sexual-harassment claims...against the company and his former bosses, Dentsu Holdings CEO Toyo Shigeta and Dentsu America CEO Timothy Andree...include sexually charged situations that Mr. Biegel...alleges being forced into by Mr. Shigeta... In the wake of Mr. Biegel's original complaint, Dentsu initially vowed to fight the claims. Then the agency and Messrs. Shigeta and Andree...[called] his allegations bogus and nothing more than a scheme cooked up to squeeze money out of Dentsu.
