The district attorney's office has announced that they will be launching a probe into the allegations of physical assault that were made against Attorney General Eric Schneiderman.
'Our office has opened an investigation into the recently reported allegations concerning Mr. Schneiderman,' said Danny Frost, a spokesperson for Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance.
This announcement came just five days after it was revealed that Schneiderman's office was investigating Vance for his decision to not file sexual assault charges in the wake of a 2015 incident involving Harvey Weinstein and Italian model Ambra Battilana.
That probe was requested by Governor Andrew Cuomo, and Scneiderman said last week he would assign a special deputy to lead the inquiry.
Schneiderman, 63, did not show up to work on Tuesday after announcing it would be his final day just hours after the publication of a damning New Yorker expose in which four women said that the publicly-elected official had hit or slapped them without consent, often in bed, and frequently after drinking.
He responded to the allegations by admitting that he 'engaged in role-playing and other consensual sexual activity' but denying claims that he ever assaulted another person or had 'nonconsensual sex.'
