Hedge fund manager Crispin Odey sues Financial Times for £79M over sexual assault allegations.

Hedge fund manager Crispin Odey is suing the Financial Times for £79 million in libel over four 2023 articles that alleged he sexually assaulted multiple women. The allegations led Odey to temporarily leave his position at Odey Asset Management, though he later returned. Five women are also suing Odey separately for alleged misconduct. Odey denies the allegations, while the FT plans to "vigorously defend" its reporting. The court is set to hear further arguments later.
