NEW YORK Dentsu America filed a motion in a New York federal court yesterday to dismiss the sexual harassment and discrimination lawsuit filed by former group creative director Steve Biegel.

The agency denied all of Biegel’s lurid claims, saying if he believed they were valid they should have been made while Biegel was a Dentsu employee or that he should have filed the suit a year ago when he was fired. Instead, Dentsu argued in its motion, Biegel prepared a draft of his lawsuit and showed it to two of the agency’s biggest clients while he and his attorney attempted to secure a $1 million payout from Dentsu.
