California Republican accused of pressuring her chief of staff to perform sex acts: report

A California state senator is being sued for sexual harassment by her former chief of staff who says she pressured him into performing sex acts.

State Sen. Marie Alvarado-Gil, who recently changed her party affiliation from Democrat to Republican, was hit by the lawsuit filed in the Superior Court of Sacramento by Chad Condit.

Politico first reported the claims. More details of the accusations were not immediately known, but Condit states that Alvarado-Gil and the California State Senate violated employment protections.
