Are laws against harassment going to prevent rape? Another staffer reported in 2001 that Boxley, "physically compelled me to engage in sexual relations." That is not sexual harassment. That is plain, dirty, shut-him-up-in-the-pen-with-a-roommate-named-Cornfed type rape. This statement should be engraved over the doors to the state Capitol:A NY state senator says this week's arrest of a powerful Assembly aide [Michael Boxley, the 43-year-old chief counsel to Democratic Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver] on rape charges is a result of the Legislature's refusal to deal with sexual harassment in the state Capitol and statewide. Sen. Thomas Duane, a Manhattan Democrat, said Thursday that Albany's power structure leaves underlings vulnerable to sexual harassment and abuse. He announced a bill Thursday that would prohibit legislators and high-ranking staff from having sexual relations with younger and lower-level aides.
"The Legislature just doesn't get it. They don't get it for themselves, and they don't get it on a statewide basis," Duane said.
