Pols ask Lopez to quit over sex harassment scandal
Williamsburg-Bushwick Assemblyman Vito Lopez, who is the leader of the Democratic Paty in Brooklyn, is facing a rising chorus demanding his resignation following his implication in a sexual harassment scandal.
Lopez lost his committee chairmanship and seniority on Friday after the bipartisan, eight-member Assembly Committee on Ethics and Guidance found he violated the chamber’s sexual harassment policy.
The panel unanimously found that Lopez created a hostile workplace, including verbal and physical sexual abuse, and that his response to the allegations was “not credible.”
