New York Judge Kevin Castel ruled that Wang can't assert these claims, because as an unpaid intern, she didn't have the status of an employee. "It is uncontested that Wang received no remuneration for her services," Castel wrote. "New York City's Human Rights Law's protection of employees does not extend to unpaid interns."

Once Ms. Wang and and Mr. Liu were in his hotel room, Mr. Liu took off his shirt jacket and undid his tie as they talked. Then Mr. Liu suddenly exclaimed "Why are you so beautiful?" and threw his arms around Ms. Wang. He held her tightly for roughly five seconds and during this time, he tried to kiss Ms. Wang by force, but Ms. Wang turned her face away so Mr. Liu's mouth landed on her cheek and neck. Mr. Liu's left hand squeezed her buttocks. Ms. Wang pushed him away and told him to stop. She said "I don't want this." Finally, Mr. Liu let go of Ms. Wang.
She may not be a paid employee, but she’s still a woman who was sexually harassed against her will by an older man. But yeah, that paycheck is where it counts.
So basically unpaid interns are slaves.
Nice to know you don't have basic human rights if you're not rolling in the dough.
