A new video shows the extent of sexual harassment faced by female staffers of disgraced New York Assemblyman Dennis Gabryszak, who resigned Sunday.
The graphic video below, which Gabryszak allegedly sent to one of his staffers, shows the 62-year-old lawmaker either masturbating (off-screen) or pretending to receive oral sex inside a bathroom stall.
He concludes the lewd act by flushing the toilet and creepily looking into the camera. "Is this what you wanted?" he asks.
The Daily News reports the staffers released the video, along with other pieces of incriminating evidence, to challenge Gabryszak's claim that only "mutual banter and exchanges" took place between him and his accusers.
“He would have been much wiser to just resign and make no comment,” attorney John Bartolomei told the paper.
In his statement on Sunday, Gabryszak continued to deny any wrongdoing or sexual misconduct, insisting there was "never any intent on my part” to harass his female staffers. He said his decision to resign rested on the scandal's effect on his family.
