Adeel Mirza, NY Dem running for DA, allegedly sexually harassed subordinate, told her ‘I know you’re not white’: lawsuit
“…A Democrat running for Westchester County district attorney was accused of sexually harassing a female subordinate in the prosecutor’s office and questioning her race — allegedly telling her “I know you’re not white.”
The allegations against Adeel Mirza, who previously worked in the DA office as a prosecutor and recently announced a run for the top job, were part of a lawsuit filed by a former coworker alleging a hostile work environment.
After the alleged victim was hired by the District Attorney’s Office in 2019, Mirza repeatedly invited her out for drinks and told her the only way for her to succeed was to “become close to people like” him, the lawsuit claims.
While out at drinks Mirza allegedly bombarded her with questions like “What is your race?” and “Are you Hispanic?”
He then prodded her about her race, allegedly saying “I know you’re not white,” and “Come on, we can all tell, for obvious reasons, that you aren’t white,” according to the lawsuit…”
This was talk on a date. Mentally disturbed.
