Riot Games Clears CEO In Misconduct Allegations

Los Angeles-based videogame developer Riot Games said on Tuesday that a special committee has cleared its CEO, Nicolo Laurent, of alleged misconduct. Riot Games said that it hired an outside law firm, Seyfarth Shaw LLP, to investigation the allegations. The firms said a special committee of the board reviewed results from the outside investigation and concluded that "there was no evidence that Laurent harassed, discriminated, or retaliated against the plaintiff." Laurent had been accused of sexual harassment and gender discriination by former executive assistant Sharon O'Donnell in January.
