Pol sent staff video of 'oral sex'
[NYPOST] Move over, Vito "Gropez" -- yet another Albany politician has been accused of outlandish sexual harassment by young female staffers.
Ahah! Pedro Danger makes his appearance!
Married-with-children Assemblyman Dennis Gabryszak, 62, tormented three workers with lewd antics such as sending a video of himself supposedly receiving oral sex, suggesting they shack up with him in hotels and talking about a tattoo on his penis, new court documents charge.
"I got a boner when I walked into the office today when I saw you," the seven-year assemblyman allegedly drooled to his then-director of communications, Annalise C. Freling, 28, last year at a governor's event, according to court papers filed Thursday.
"You're so hot, you know what I want to do with you," he allegedly said.
The documents were part of a notice of claim that legally informed the assemblyman of the women's intent to sue.
Their accusations come during a banner year of Albany sleaze: Assemblyman Vito Lopez (D-Brooklyn) resigned amid young female staffers' accusations that he'd asked them to massage him and fondle his cancerous tumors.
Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, who was accused by Lopez staffers of quashing their complaints, vowed Thursday to immediately bring the Gabryszak allegations to the Assembly Ethics Committee.
Gabryszak, a Buffalo-area politician who's been married for 37 years and has two adult children, started harassing Freling within days of hiring her, according to the court documents obtained by the Albany Times Union.
In late 2011, Gabryszak told Freling he was sending her a recorded message to play to his constituents -- but instead sent her a video "of him in a bathroom, either receiving or pretending to be receiving fellatio," the papers allege.
