Florida Rep. Fabián Basabe accused of slapping 25-year-old aide

The Florida Rep. Fabián Basabe has been accused of slapping his 25-year-old aide during a visit to Florida’s capital. The incident allegedly occurred in his apartment after the aide refused to engage in a sexual act with the representative. According to reports, the aide was physically assaulted, choked and threatened. Basabe’s defense team has denied the allegations, insisting that the accusations are unfounded and baseless. The aide, on the other hand, claims to have evidence to back up his story. The incident has sparked outrage among constituents and lawmakers alike, with many calling for Basabe’s resignation from Congress. The case highlights the ongoing issue of sexual harassment in the workplace, particularly in politics, and the urgent need for workplace policies to protect staffers from abuses of power. It serves as a reminder that no one is above the law, and that misconduct in any form will not be tolerated.
