Nikola founder Trevor Milton has been formally accused of sexual abuse by two women who told police he touched them when they were 15. The allegations date back more than 15 years ago.

inked a deal with Nikola to provide technology and build its electric pickup trucks on Sept. 8.

The second alleged assault, which hasn't been previously reported, took place in 2004 when Milton would have been 22 years old and hired a then 15-year-old girl as an office assistant for a security company he ran in St. George, Utah, according to Craig Johnson, a former prosecutor who's representing both women.

Milton ran several companies before founding Nikola in 2010, including St. George Security & Alarms, which he incorporated in May 2004, according to state records. The office had a movie room where Milton invited his new assistant one night, the woman said in an interview with CNBC. She said she agreed to stay because he was paying her by the hour, she needed the money and depended on him for a ride home.

"I still remember, where we were at on the road, almost back to St. George, he told me when worked for him, he blackmailed her for ditching school and into watching a movie in the back and cuddling with him," Winona said in an interview. Milton said he "took her virginity in the theater room," Winona said.

"I don't think I knew the details, but I knew that he had sexually made moves on her," she said in an interview with CNBC. "He undid my bra like completely without my consent, and I froze," she said. She was sitting in front of the TV when Milton reached from behind and groped her breasts, she said. Ferrin Smith also confided at the time in her mother, who confirmed the same account of events to CNBC. She additionally went to the bishop of the local Mormon church in her home town of Naperville, Illinois, Taylor Manning, who didn't respond to messages left on a cellphone believed to be his number.

There you go.. fairies on move to grab some bucks.

these women never had the ability to speak before. they were able to do this through the media freely and then the big lawyers come in. very smart ladies and they should be proud of themselves. 🙏

Damn...talk about a quick fall from grace. Class action civil suit will be next. There are a lot of (rightfully) pissed off bag holders out there

Really disappointed in GM & mtbarra. Due diligence?

So when I make some million $ I can expect my teenage GFs retrospectively to dislike me touching them. OK I got that.

QTRResearch Just keeps getting worse. Prob a lot more to come.

He's too randy to make money for shareholders. $NKLA 😂

Guilty until proven innocent great reporting. Let the accusations be decided in court. You have already deemed him guilt in the public’s eye. I’m sure you paid the women well though for the story

Hindenburg went from shorting shares and followed it up with to “Catch a Predator” on Trevor.

BREAKING: Women who filed complaints only have proof in the form of drawings of Trevor sexually abusing them. Another claimed he pushed her but it was just a rotated video of her rolling down a hill.

Cause he had $$$$. I never heard about that to any beggars.

Yikes.

I just don’t know what it was you know? The moment it started trading...

Welp not touching that stock smh

QTRResearch Can shareholders file a financial abuse claim?

Sounds to me like there is some gold digging!

KamalaHarris JoeBiden ......Why would mtbarra as a Women CEO..stand by a bad actor towards women and enrich Trevor Milton stock holdings with a bad deal! As a parent, I stand by the metoo from predators. We should NOT support this.

Of course they filed he’s worth $3.1 billion!

This almost seems like an orchestrated hit job on this guy. Wonder if there’s something deeper going on here? Seems like mafia style destruction. Big oil?

That's bullshit he is a con man not a predator, it's kinda sick to see people using these acccusation for money.

realwillmeade GM will be backing out for sure.

Bullish

Casual Scammer 🥳🤡🤡🤡

I don’t condone anything, I’m just saying that the mob on twtr is the jury these days. Just a statement and an allegation and you are guilty. Social Media decides everyone fate these days. How did we end up here.

Its always sex that causes the downfall 😂

mtbarra Terrible

It’s over Mr Milton. Hopefully these victims clean you have money you have. Your a serial sexual predator and will be going to prison. gm is backing out. Will be interesting to the tables turn in prison for you. Your going to be fresh meat for your prison mates.

No more innocent till proven guilty in America anymore these days. Anyone can accuse u and the twtr mop find u guilty with no details. Just an allegation from a woman and you are guilty. Thé me too movement says, guilty until u prove yourself innocence. Back to the Stone Age.

Jajajajajajajja

This episode of American Greed is gonna be lit.
