DENVER, CO Five Colorado lawmakers are among more than 100 across the country now accused of sexual misconduct in the four years since the onset of the national #MeToo reckoning in 2017, according to data collected by The Associated Press.
The state lawmakers are among other politicians, entertainers and business leaders exposed in the social justice movement to end sexual abuse and sexual harassment. The movement began in 2017 when movie mogul Harvey Weinstein, now a convicted sex offender, was accused by more than 80 women of sexual misconduct allegations dating back to the late 1970s.
