Ex-Google CEO's ex ordered to pay $10M

An arbitrator has ruled in favor of former Google CEO Eric Schmidt, finding him not guilty of sexual assault allegations made by his former girlfriend and business partner, Michelle Ritter. The ruling also ordered Ritter to pay Schmidt $10.7 million in damages. Ritter had accused Schmidt of forcibly raping her on a yacht in 2021 and engaging in nonconsensual sex at the Burning Man festival in 2023, claims he has denied. The case was sent to arbitration after Ritter's federal lawsuit challenging the process was dismissed.
