A broker at a unit of interdealer brokerage TP ICAP Group Plc sued her employer and Citigroup Inc. alleging both firms failed to protect her from a trader at the Wall Street bank who she claims harassed her for years.

Christine O’Reilly, a New York-based employee at ICAP, alleged in a lawsuit on Monday that she was forced to put her company’s profits ahead of her own wellbeing and endure relentless harassment and unwanted advances from the trader at Citigroup, a prized client.
