A banquet supervisor at the stodgy New York Athletic Club forced everyone from waitresses to coat-check girls to pleasure him and join in wild late-night orgies in exchange for plum work assignments, explosive new court documents charge.

Nesim Zuberi even took trophy videos and snapshots of the encounters at the ornate Central Park South landmark — and proudly showed them to other co-workers along with photos of his own erect penis and images of himself having a menage-a-trois with his wife and a “Russian lady,” the new papers allege.

Details of Zuberi’s twisted trysts surfaced in a deposition given by Keisi Ballenilla, a formera former banquet server who is the sole plaintiff in the related 2011 sex-harassment suit. She gave the deposition over three days earlier this year, and it was obtained exclusively by The Post.

Ballenilla said she and at least five other female workers were forced to give in to Zuberi’s sick demands in exchange for prime hours and weekends off, the papers allege.

It was common knowledge that one female banquet server was being pressured into sex with Zuberi even as she was having sex with a Catholic priest who also worked there, Ballenilla said.

“He was always wearing the vestments of a church,” Ballenilla said in her deposition of the priest, who moonlighted serving at banquets when he wasn’t serving at Mass.

Asked if she meant a clerical collar, she said, “Yes, and then he would remove his garments when he would begin to work the shift.”

Ballenilla said Zuberi would coerce her to have sex with him under the low-hanging green lamps of the club’s 10th-floor Billiards Room.

“On the pool table?” Ballenilla was asked in the deposition.

“Yes,” she answered.

Asked “Was the cover on the pool table or no?” she answered, “No.”

In 2009, toward the end of her five years of hell as a banquet server, Ballenilla said, she was pregnant with her daughter by her still-current partner — and Zuberi still demanded sex.

Other employees — from fellow alleged victims to managers — at least partially corroborate Ballenilla’s tale, according to the deposition.

But NYAC spokesman James O’Brien told The Post, “There is absolutely no truth to these allegations.

“As soon as the lawsuit was filed, our outside legal counsel conducted an exhaustive investigation and concluded that the allegations were without merit,” he said.

Zuberi added to the paper, “Listen, there’s no truth to any of this. This girl, this woman, she is using this to her advantage. She’s trying to benefit from this.

“I can’t talk about any of this because it’s pending,” he added.

Ballenilla is being repped by lawyer Joshua Friedman.

Last year, the club’s staid tap room was the site of a bone-crushing brawl among three members that has resulted in another lawsuit.
