A US federal judge dismisses a sexual abuse lawsuit brought by Annie Altman against her brother, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. The case is filed in St. Louis, Missouri, and the dismissal follows the judge’s finding that Annie Altman did not comply with a requirement to undergo an independent medical evaluation.

Across outlets, coverage focuses on the procedural basis for the dismissal. Forbes and The Express Tribune specifically emphasise Annie Altman refusing to appear for an independent medical examination. NDTV adds that the Altman family says Annie Altman has mental health challenges and that it provided financial support, while Sam Altman says she began accusing him after the family rejected her demands for more money.

The Independent reports the dismissal and notes the lawsuit is brought in the St. Louis federal court, but provides less detail on the reasons for dismissal and fewer surrounding claims than NDTV and Forbes. Overall, outlets largely agree on the core point: the judge dismisses the lawsuit linked to non-compliance with an independent medical evaluation.
