A woman who accused a former top adviser to New York Attorney General Letitia James of unwanted kissing has filed a lawsuit alleging the Democrat and her office ignored previous warnings about his behavior.
Khan had been one of James’ closest confidantes for nearly a decade, dating to her successful campaign for New York City public advocate in 2013. The allegations against him are a rare crisis for the Democrat. Last year, James oversaw a sexual harassment probe that led to former Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s resignation. After that, she briefly ran for governor before opting for reelection. Some Cuomo allies and state Republicans now want her investigated.
The lawsuit was filed in state court under New York’s Adult Survivors Act, which temporarily sets aside time limits to bring lawsuits for adults who were sexually assaulted. Her lawyer, Douglas Wigdor, explained that was done because the accusations say the assault happened just beyond the one-year statute of limitations.
After Khan started kissing her, Quintanar said she pushed Khan away, asking him, “Aren’t you married?” and “Don’t you have kids? What are you doing?” Quintanar said she filed the lawsuit with the hope of increasing “the visibility and strength of women of color having a voice in the #MeToo movement.”
