Less than 24 hours after a woman publicly accused a former senior staffer in Gov. Phil Murphy's administration of rape during the campaign, a second woman came forward Monday, telling her own story of how the same man attempted to sexually assault her during a law school party nearly 20 years ago.
The woman, who spoke to NJ Advance Media on the condition she not be identified, said Albert J. Alvarez attacked her during a Rutgers Law Review gathering in the fall of 1999, and that she feels remorse for not reporting it to police.
Alvarez was the chief of staff to the Schools Development Authority until Oct. 2, and played key roles in Murphy's campaign and transition team effort.
