US Senator Alvarado-Gil said an American is sexually assaulted every 73 seconds and the crime affects people of all genders and sexuality.
“If you or someone you know has been sexually assaulted, please know that it is not your fault,” she said in the video, asking citizens to help “end sexual violence”.
The bill which sought to make rape of an intoxicated person a violent felony and sought stricter punishment for sex crimes was passed in the senate on August 31 .Alvarado-Gil’s former chief of staff, Chad Condit, has alleged that the senator maintained a “sexual quid pro quo relationship” with him that left him injured in the back and hip.
Mr Condit started working for Alvarado-Gil when she contested for Senate in 2022 and was appointed chief of staff when she was elected.
He alleged that the senator pressured him into performing sex acts on her while they went on work trips over the years to protect his job.
