A female managing director at a headhunting firm has accused her male boss of sexual harassment after he allegedly groped her breasts, asked if he could ‘suck on her boobies’ and threw furniture when she refused his advances. 

Veronica McILraith, 35, worked at Wegman Partners in their New York office for three years until she claims she was forced out this year for reporting her boss Scott Legg’s alleged harassment. 

McILraith filed a New York City Commission on Human Rights complaint about Legg’s behavior on Wednesday.

The former managing director claimed in her complaint that Legg often appeared drunk and high on cocaine while he was at work and she once took a photo of him passed out on the office floor.

Veronica McILraith, 35, claims she was sexually harassed by her boss Scott Legg while they worked together at headhunting firm Wegman Partners in New York from 2014 to 2017

She said Legg called her a ‘b***h’ when she refused his advances and twice threw chairs at her office wall when she turned him down.

McILraith described one alleged incident from July 2015 during which Legg ‘aggressively’ grabbed her breasts in the office kitchen and tried to open her sweater. 

The next month, she claims Legg ‘humped (her) office door, licked it and showed her his tongue’. 

Legg also allegedly sent her a text message while he was waiting for her at a client meeting in November 2015 that read: ‘Maybe I’ll suck on your boobies.’ 

McILraith included a screenshot of their text message exchange in her complaint.

McILraith said in her complaint that Legg often appeared drunk and high on cocaine while he was at work and she once took a photo of him passed out on the office floor

 McILraith included several screenshots of text message exchanges she had with Legg, including one where he said he would suck her breasts

McILraith also included in her complaint several photos that showed a sign Legg had allegedly posted outside his office that read 'suck my b***s'. The sign was up for four months

She also included several photos that showed a sign Legg had allegedly posted outside his office for four months that read ‘suck my b***s’ and a shot of an ejaculating penis that he drew.

The complaint said Legg was suspended for five days when the company’s human resources department investigated McILraith’s accusations.

However, McILraith claims Legg stopped her commissions and left her without income. 

McILraith said she chose to file a complaint with the human rights commission because there was a clause in her contract that meant a lawsuit would have to be settled by an arbitrator.
