Lawyer: Don't blame victims of sexual assault

Issue raised after Sam Hoyt details come to light
Posted
and last updated

We are learning new details in the Sam Hoyt sexual harassment scandal after a phone call with the alleged victim, who came forward to report sexual harassment against the former state Assemblyman from Buffalo.

Plus, attorney Lindy Korn -- who is not involved in this case -- speaks about how hard it is for those who come forward to report sexual harassment. 

Updated: Statement from Dani Lever, press secretary to Gov. Andrew Cuomo:
"As we previously said,  when made aware of these allegations, ‎we ordered investigations by three separate entities - two of which still have ongoing inquiries - and Mr. Hoyt was ordered to have no contact with the complainant. With these investigations still pending, he left state service."
