The Wall Street CEO who was hit with an $18 million jury verdict for pressuring his pretty Swedish intern into sex is trying to get damages reduced to $480,000 even as her lawyers try to squeeze almost $2 million in legal fees out of him, new court papers state.

Hanna Bouveng, 25, won the massive award from Benjamin Wey, 43, in a blockbuster Manhattan federal court trial in June.

“The punitive-damages verdict . . . can only be the result of passion or prejudice, is unconstitutionally high, and should be reduced to an amount reasonable for the nonviolent claim of defamation,” Wey’s attorney wrote in court papers.
