Exp Realty lawsuit alleges “drugging & sexual assault of women”

A lawsuit filed back in February accuses top Exp Realty Agents of ” drugging and sexual assault of women”. Exp Realty and founder Glenn Sanford are also under fire.

Through Exp Realty, described in the lawsuit as a “pyramid-style scheme”, Sanford is accused of

creating an environment that allowed these assaults, then silencing those whose accounts of sexual harassment and assault would impact profit.

Exp Realty
, as reviewed on BehindMLM in 2021, is a “real-estate MLM with lots of fees”.

The three Exp Realty Agent defendants are named in the lawsuit are:

Michael Bjorkman (right), a California resident who joined Exp Realty in 2018;

David S. Golden, a Nevada resident and upline of Bjorkman who joined Exp Realty in 2017; and

Brent Gove, a California resident and Exp Realty Agent

Note that while the original Complaint was filed in February, this article is based on an Amended Complaint filed on March 23rd.

The lawsuit opens by detailing Michael Bjorkman’s prior arrest for sexual assault of one of the anonymous Plaintiffs.

On March 8, 2021, DEFENDANT BJORKMAN was arrested in Miami-Dade County for two (2) counts of sexual assault of JANE DOE 3.

In conjunction with that arrest, the Las Vegas Police Department issued a Declaration of Warrant/Summons, Event Number 200900070704 (“Warrant”), a 27-page report, which lays out its in-depth criminal investigation describing multiple occasions of multiple women being drugged and assaulted by DEFENDANT BJORKMAN while attending eXp REALTY Recruiting Events.

As described in the Warrant, there is a long history of multiple women accusing DEFENDANT BJORKMAN of both drugging and sexually assaulting women dating back to 2000.

The case against Bjorkman was
dismissed
a few months later in May.

One of Bjorkman’s victims detailed in the warrant, an assault dating back to 2007, joined Exp Realty in 2018.

Shortly after joining eXp REALTY, she ran into DEFENDANT BJORKMAN at eXpCon in New Orleans in October 2018.

Seeing DEFENDANT BJORKMAN associated with the same company she just joined as a real estate agent caused this agent to suffer extreme emotional distress.

Bjorkman’s victim first contacted her upline, Frank Crandall, and then Exp Realty’s “designated California Broker”, Debbie Penny.

Ms. Penny never replied to this agent’s attempts to contact her. Frustrated with the lack of support, this agent left eXp Realty.

Bjorkman’s warrant goes on to detail claims of Bjorkman contacting his victims, and ““threatening” them not to say anything.”

Upon learning of Bjorkman’s alleged conduct, Exp Realty removed his company license

but continued to allow him to go to eXp events, continued to socialize with him and continued to pay him substantial amounts of money each month because he was a top Influencer.

Bjorkman left Exp Realty in September 2020, but allegedly still has a compensation position in Exp Realty’s “revenue share program”.
