Eric Schneiderman, New York’s attorney general, has long been a liberal Democratic champion of women’s rights, and recently he has become an outspoken figure in the #MeToo movement against sexual harassment. As New York State’s highest-ranking law-enforcement officer, Schneiderman, who is sixty-three, has used his authority to take legal action against the disgraced film mogul Harvey Weinstein, and to demand greater compensation for the victims of Weinstein’s alleged sexual crimes. Last month, when the Times and this magazine were awarded a joint Pulitzer Prize for coverage of sexual harassment, Schneiderman issued a congratulatory tweet, praising “the brave women and men who spoke up about the sexual harassment they had endured at the hands of powerful men.” Without these women, he noted, “there would not be the critical national reckoning under way.”

Now Schneiderman is facing a reckoning of his own. As his prominence as a voice against sexual misconduct has risen, so, too, has the distress of four women with whom he has had romantic relationships or encounters. They accuse Schneiderman of having subjected them to nonconsensual physical violence. All have been reluctant to speak out, fearing reprisal. But two of the women, Michelle Manning Barish and Tanya Selvaratnam, have talked to The New Yorker on the record, because they feel that doing so could protect other women. They allege that he repeatedly hit them, often after drinking, frequently in bed and never with their consent. Manning Barish and Selvaratnam categorize the abuse he inflicted on them as “assault.” They did not report their allegations to the police at the time, but both say that they eventually sought medical attention after having been slapped hard across the ear and face, and also choked. Selvaratnam says that Schneiderman warned her he could have her followed and her phones tapped, and both say that he threatened to kill them if they broke up with him. (Schneiderman’s spokesperson said that he “never made any of these threats.”)

A third former romantic partner of Schneiderman’s told Manning Barish and Selvaratnam that he also repeatedly subjected her to nonconsensual physical violence, but she told them that she is too frightened of him to come forward. (The New Yorker has independently vetted the accounts that they gave of her allegations.) A fourth woman, an attorney who has held prominent positions in the New York legal community, says that Schneiderman made an advance toward her; when she rebuffed him, he slapped her across the face with such force that it left a mark that lingered the next day. She recalls screaming in surprise and pain, and beginning to cry, and says that she felt frightened. She has asked to remain unidentified, but shared a photograph of the injury with The New Yorker.

Ah, #MeToo, the gift that keeps on giving. The Left Will Eat Itself, enjoy it.

Remember, the Male Allies are always the worst of the bunch.

I guess his motto was, if you can't beat them, join them. Maybe join them and beat them anyway.

He needs Cuck Remedial Therapy.

QUOTE: Sometimes in bed, she recalls, he would be “shaking me and grabbing my face” while demanding that she repeat such things as “I’m a little whore.” She says that he also told her, “If you ever left me, I’d kill you.” -The New Yorker

"Sometimes in bed,"?? What do you mean, SOMETIMES???? "If an accuser comes back for more of the same so-called abuse, I would consider that firm evidence that it was not abuse but consensual sexual behavior.

I wonder what percentage of males in positions of power don't have a "me too" moment or 10 in their past.

Yes, that did seem strange that two women in the article mentioned "bed," and even one spoke of the bed at her place.

More quotes, from accuser Tanya Selvaratnam:

Schneiderman "not only slapped her across the face, often four or five times, back and forth, with his open hand; he also spat at her and choked her. “He was cutting off my ability to breathe,” she says. Eventually, she says, “we could rarely have sex without him beating me.”

Eventually?? Rarely?? She kept coming back for more of the same? Sounds like a masochist to me, not a victim.

Women are like boomerangs. You use them, fling them off, and then they come back to hit you on the head.

Not in a position of power, so it doesn't matter. No one would care if I'd done something. Another thought, which woman will be the first to fall to "me too". Surely there's more than a few women who've abused their authority.

Wow, that was fast.

Eric Scheiderman resigned already.

You wouldn't believe the shit NYC gals asked me to do. I couldn't believe there were so many gals you wanted the shit kicked out of them for vag tingles. Some gal leaned over a table in the bar, maybe 20 minutes after meeting her and said, "I want you to drag me across my floor, by the hair, naked."

Yeah, no thanks, not my bag baby, I don't trust people who like to abuse or be abused. As somebody once said, BDSM types eventually get bored with 'consent'.

Of course being a guy I had ordinary sex with her but it sucked because she needed stranger danger violence to get off, and I get off when other people get off so it was pretty mediocre. I should have spanked it.

Holy Shit, God Emperor was right again:

Weiner is gone, Spitzer is gone - next will be lightweight A.G. Eric Schneiderman. Is he a crook? Wait and see, worse than Spitzer or Weiner
