2nd DA joins Vito Lopez sex harassment probe
The Albany County district attorney has joined a special prosecutor to investigate a broad case of sexual harassment in the New York Assembly, a person familiar with the investigation said Wednesday.
The move comes as protesters in New York City called for Brooklyn Assemblyman Vito Lopez to resign after four female staffers accused the Democrat of sexual harassment.
“Every man in New York City should be standing, asking for his resignation,” said Esteban Duran, 34, of Brooklyn, part of a group of about 15 men who gathered on the City Hall steps to chant slogans that included one in Spanish saying: “A people united don’t want Vito anymore.”
