Michelle A. Moor filed a discrimination complaint Thursday against her former Boston law firm, Bingham McCutchen.
The complaint claimed that Bingham McCutchen failed to promptly investigate Moor's allegation that she had been drugged at a firm holiday party, and that another female associate had been drugged and raped a year earlier by a Bingham employee.
The complaint, which was filed Wednesday at the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination, also alleges a Bingham employee mentioned at a firm dinner that he enjoyed giving women date-rape drugs and having sex with them.
According to the complaint, Bingham failed to adequately investigate those comments as well.
Moor left Bingham in February and is now an associate at the Boston law firm Kotin, Crabtree & Strong.
Moor began working at Bingham in September 2007 after having been a summer associate there while attending Northeastern University School of Law.
According to the complaint, Moor became dizzy during the firm's annual holiday party. Moor, who recalls having only two glasses of wine, later went to an emergency room, where a blood test revealed she had ingested Tegretol, a medication that can cause memory loss when mixed with alcohol.
Bingham McCutchen said in a statement that they took Moor's allegations very seriously, but they were unable to find the person that spiked her drink.
