FORMER NEW YORK CONGRESSMAN FACING SEXUAL HARASSMENT COMPLAINT FROM FORMER EMPLOYEE
Former New York Congressman Eric Massa is now facing a complaint of sexual harassment from a male employee. Massa, who recently resigned in connection to an ethics probe, has also been subject to reports of his abrasive behavior including groping individuals and using inappropriate language.
This matter raises several significant issues. The first is that it reflects the increasing number of claims of sexual harassment made by men. The other issue is that sexual harassment and other kinds of employment discrimination are prevalent at even the highest levels of our government.
