The growing questions over James’ handling of the case come after she was reelected to a second term Nov. 8 and after her damning report in August 2021 over sexual harassment complaints against then-Gov. Andrew Cuomo and his office’s handling of themJames’ office confirmed Dec. 2 that Khan resigned following an investigation into a handful of sexual harassment allegations against him.
The Sexual Harassment Working Group, a coalition of former legislative staffers that has successfully pushed for more protections for survivors of harassment, is also criticizing the handling of the events. The group applauded the Attorney General’s Office’s actions toward a prompt investigation, but said the “lack of initial transparency” since the news of Khan’s resignation broke “is a failure of communication.
James released her first official comment on Khan on Wednesday soon before the Times story posted online. She thanked the women who came forward and said, “I want to assure them that they were heard and that I believe them.”“My office treated this matter as aggressively as every other matter that has come before our office,” she said.
