The CEO and founder of Gravity Payments, who became well-known for taking a pay cut to raise his employees' salaries, is accused of assaulting a woman, according to The Seattle Times. Dan Price's attorney claims the allegations are false. FOX13
, she and Price sent messages to each other on Instagram about work, and planned to meet in person to discuss "professional matters". After the dinner meeting, prosecutors say Price invited her into his Tesla to wait for her Uber to arrive, attempted to kiss her and grabbed her by the throat when she refused.
According to the woman's claims, the Uber was taking too long to arrive, so she called her boyfriend to pick her up at the Northgate park-and-ride. Court documents say Price drove her to the parking lot, and started driving "Doughnuts" as they waited for the boyfriend to arrive. She claims she was frightened, because he drank alcohol during the dinner meeting.
"These allegations are absolutely false. Dan Price’s successful business leadership and advocacy for progressive causes have made him a target for all kinds of smears. We have already obtained evidence that contradicts key details of the police report and raises serious doubts about the complainant’s credibility. Mr. Price respects the legal process and is confident that he will be vindicated in court."Get breaking news alerts in the FREE FOX 13 Seattle app.
