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."

A national study funded by the U.S. Department of Justice found that more than a third of rape victims had either been given a drug or alcohol or were targeted after consuming alcohol. NOW-NY President Sonia Ossorio said, "Drinking to excess is not an invitation to be raped. But the way some of our laws are written, you’d think it was. That is going to change.”
