U.S. District Judge Zachary Bluestone ruled that claims regarding sexual assault and sexual battery could not be granted as the statute of limitations expired in 2008.

Annie Altman claims she was subjected to sexual abuse and rape within her home in Clayton, Missouri, between 1997 and 2006. She stated that the abuse began when she was three years old and was perpetrated by her brother, Sam, who was 12 at the time. Sam Altman, now 40, is a co-founder of OpenAI and has become the face of the AI boom following the emergence of ChatGPT.
Sam had previously filed a defamation countersuit based on posts Annie made on X and TikTok between 2021 and 2024. The family has explained that Annie has mental health challenges, and Sam claims that while he has provided support, including financial assistance, the lawsuit constitutes coercion. Sam's representatives have not immediately responded to requests for comment.
