Vito Lopez Lamented State's Statutory Rape Laws While Ogling Intern: Sources

NY Daily News:

Pervy Assemblyman Vito Lopez found a 14-year-old intern so sexy that he fantasized aloud about living in a state where it was legal to sleep with underage girls, a source told the Daily News.

After ogling the girl, the 71-year-old Brooklyn Democrat relayed his twisted lament over New York’s statutory rape laws to at least one person from his district office, the source said.

The creepy comment comes to light days after the Daily News revealed that the mother of a Lopez staffer called the police after he told the staffer she should dress sexier — like the teenaged intern.

“It just gets more and more horrifying with this guy,” said one insider. “God only knows what’s inside that (state ethics commission) report” on Lopez.


Lopez was our County Party Chair until the Harrassment charges, but still serves in the Assembly; my City Councilman is a protege of him. Would anyone be willing to trade? Anyone?

With progressive values. Those women need to lighten up and quit making mountains out of molehills.

This guy may have made a verbal gaff, or he could be a total asshole. Your post is somewhat ambiguous.
