So "co-ed" is the new term for working girl?
Exclusive: I got sexy e-mails from slave accuser, says American Apparel CEO
The co-ed who claims American Apparel's randy CEO kept her as a teen sex slave appears more like a money-hungry vixen than a helpless victim in racy e-mails sent to the hipster clothier, his lawyer says.
Irene Morales, 20, who is suing Dov Charney, 42, for $260 million, sent him 40 naked pictures of herself, with the titillating promise "Daddy's got a little naughty girl waiting for him," the clothing boss' lawyer alleges.
The e-mails -- sent a year after she quit working for his LA-based company in 2008 -- graphically detail promised sex acts in exchange for money, clothes and a computer.
Even the subject lines are blushingly blue.
Two e-mails sent in January 2010 -- titled "Lolita" and "Lolitas" -- are packed with a combined 15 lurid photos shot from every possible angle.
An earlier, September 2009, e-mail with the subject "A few now . . . more later, yeah? A lot dirtier too" teases him with four steamy shots.
The photos are attached to the salacious e-mails sent under the name Irene Julia.
Charney's lawyer, Stuart Slotnick, claims Irene Julia is Irene Morales.
In some, she gripes about being a financially strapped college student.
"If you're not using one of the many laptops you have, would I be able to use it?" Morales allegedly pleaded in an Aug. 2, 2009, e-mail that's expected to be submitted as evidence in the case by American Apparel at a court hearing today in Brooklyn Supreme Court.
So desperate for dough, one e-mail begged: "Is there any way I can work for you, even if it's at the Hoboken store?"
Morales "stalked [Charney] for years" and is now "trying to shake down the company," according to Slotnick.
Morales' lawyer, Eric Baum, said in a statement, "We have no way to verify the e-mails or photos in question or if it is just more of American Apparel's propaganda.
"However, it is not unusual for victims of sexual harassment or assault to grow so demoralized that they feel the only value they offer is as a sexual object."
Morales filed suit this month, seeking damages from the flamboyant clothing retailer.
She charged that she was "held prisoner" in Charney's Manhattan apartment shortly after her 18th birthday while Charney forced her to perform lurid sex acts for several hours.
Charney's also been hit with a harassment suit by another former employee, 19-year-old Kimbra Lo, who alleges that he sexually harassed her last December after she left the company.
