A video from 2005 of Bronx Assemblyman Jose Rivera ogling women while on vacation in the Dominican Republic has surfaced. The Daily News reports that Assemblyman Jose Rivera posted and then deleted the 2 minute video of himself and former Assemblyman Adam Clayton Powell Jr. flirting with different women. Assemblyman Jose Rivera is seen asking women for their measurements, their name, and even asks one if she has a little sister. Rivera is then seen joking with a street vendor about a concoction made of rum and other things said to be an aphrodisiac. Rivera then joke with the street vendor about the strength of the brew, and the article quotes Rivera as saying "is strong enough to get laid with all those young ones".
While this happened in 2005 there have been many scandals in Albany since then where young women (and in some cases young men) were taken advantage of by elected officials. Several officials have either been forced to resign or have retired over such charges. It is well known that Assemblyman Jose Rivera loves to have a good time, but did he cross over the lines of decency.
