The woman who accused a former Murphy administration and campaign staffer of sexual assault is speaking in public for the first time — before a Select Oversight Committee of the state Legislature, which is investigating how the administration handled the accusation.
Committee examining how a person accused of sexual assault was hired will hear next month from the state worker who says she tried to alert governor's team.
The investigation will be done by the law firm of former state Supreme Court justice Peter G. Verniero. It will investigate the the hiring and vetting of Albert J. Alvarez, regarding his position in the transition office and his eventual position at the New Jersey Schools Development Authority. Alvarez has resigned but denied the allegations against him.
