Victory for The Sun as Uber investor who blocked reporting of rape arrest is accused of sexual misconduct with six women
Earlier this year Pishevar gagged The Sun from reporting on his arrest following the rape allegation at a London hotel
AN Uber investor who gagged The Sun over his arrest on suspicion of rape has now been accused of sexual misconduct with six women.
US billionaire venture capitalist Shervin Pishevar, 43, is alleged to have harassed or assaulted the women, who claimed they were groped and kissed.
He has denied all the allegations against him, which emerged from an investigation by US news agency Bloomberg.
One of the women was named yesterday as Uber executive Austin Geidt, who has declined to comment.
The five others requested anonymity.
Earlier this year Pishevar gagged The Sun from reporting on his arrest following the rape allegation at a London hotel.
Scotland Yard investigated, but did not charge him and he was subsequently de-arrested.

Pishevar, boss of Sherpa Capital, later sued what he described as an opposition research firm, claiming it was trying to spread false allegations about him.
Colleagues claimed Pishevar touched Geidt on her leg during a 2014 Christmas party in San Francisco.
His lawyer Randa Osman denied the Geidt allegations. His representatives said they are confident all the allegations will be shown to be untrue.
