New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman accused of abusing women

Four women accused New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman of physical abuse in an article released late Monday afternoon. The New Yorker reported that four women who had sexual relationships with Schneiderman had told the magazine of abuse at his hands, including two who allowed their names to be published and said Schneiderman slapped and choked them. "In the privacy of intimate relationships, I have engaged in role-playing and other consensual sexual activity. I have not assaulted anyone," Schneiderman said in a statement to The New Yorker. "I have never engaged in nonconsensual sex, which is a line I would not cross." As attorney general of New York, Schneiderman has targeted big banks, cryptocurrency exchanges, The Weinstein Co. and President Donald Trump.
