The California Democratic Party is investigating the allegations of sexual misconduct against its Chairman Eric Bauman.
The probe comes after its Vice Chairman Daraka Larimore-Hall demanded that the party leadership should remove Bauman from his position.
Victims’ stories illustrate Bauman’s “horrific and dehumanizing behavior”
In an e-mail to teh California Democratic Party Executive Board, Larimore-Hall said the accusations by staff members against Bauman were “credible, corroborated, and utterly heart-breaking.”
Larimore-Hall spoke with two victims and a witness. He learned that Bauman allegedly “sexually harassed and in some cases sexually assaulted individuals during Party functions.”
“I believe the victims. Their stories illustrate a clear and escalating pattern of Chairman Bauman’s horrific and dehumanizing behavior…Obviously, it is completely unacceptable for Chairman Bauman to remain in office,” said Larimore-Hall.
On the other hand, Bauman confirmed the probe against him in a statement to Sacramento Bee.
