A former NBC intern has accused an ex-NBC and CNN chief of sexual assault while they were covering the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. Aarthi Rajaraman, 47, was a 20-year-old college sophomore in July 1996 when she landed the role as a production assistant for NBC for a three-week summer internship. She is seeking compensatory and punitive damages 'commensurate with that life-altering trauma that she experienced in 1996.' The night of the alleged attack a get together took place after midnight that included dinner and drinks and NBC provided the alcohol. Bass career went onto as a senior executive producer for CBS News' morning shows, and was CNN's executive vice president of programming until last year.
