A former partner at Hughes Hubbard & Reed who was charged last year with masturbating in a steam room has sued Equinox and a former employee, claiming the gym chain violated its own policies and its racy marketing campaigns “emboldened” an employee to make a false misconduct allegation.
Steven Hammond was arrested and charged last year with public lewdness after Equinox staffer Michael Alexander accused him of masturbating in the steam room. Hammond's lawyer said the criminal case against him has since been dismissed.
