California Senate President Pro Tem Kevin de León announced last month that he hired a law office to investigate harassment and assault allegations and a consulting firm to look over the Senate's policies on harassment, discrimination and retaliation.
"There's always more employers can do to protect their employees," De León said. "Everyone deserves a workplace free of fear, harassment and sexual misbehavior and I applaud the courage of women working in and around the Capitol who are coming forward and making their voices heard."
