A woman who volunteered in accused rapist Queens Councilman Dennis Gallagher's office reportedly told a grand jury last week that Gallagher sexually harassed her.
According to the New York Post, the testimony of the woman helped lead to Gallagher's indictment on charges he raped a 52-year-old woman in his Queens office last month.
The paper says the Republican's former aide told the court she walked off the job after Gallagher asked her to take off her shirt.
Gallagher was arraigned Friday on rape and sexual assault charges.He pleaded not guilty and is free on $200,000 bail.
Sources say the Middle Village lawmaker told the grand jury he had consensual sex with his alleged victim.
