A detailed investigation conducted by the NYS Attorney General's office confirmed extensive sexual harassment by the Governor. "It's over, the Governor must step down," said Sonia Ossorio, president of NOW-NY. "He's had his due process. It was a thorough investigation that ended in a devastating report that confirmed repeated sexual harassment and a toxic work environment."

Sex buying is neither a “quality of life” nor a “low-level offense” as many district attorneys claim. It is paid-for sexual misconduct that fuels sex trafficking, upholds racial and gender inequalities, and causes acute harm to the people purchased for sexual acts.

“In NYC the results are dramatic with a wholesale women-led overhaul of the power structure of the City Council.,” said Sonia Ossorio, executive director of NOW-NYC.

For the first time in NYC history, women will make up the majority of the City Council.
