Disgraced former Brooklyn lawmaker Vito Lopez dead at 74
The disgraced former New York state assemblyman Vito Lopez has died.
Lopez’s lawyer, Gerald Lefcourt, says Lopez died Monday at Memorial Sloan-Kettering hospital. He was 74 and had been treated at Sloan-Kettering for cancer for several years.
Lopez resigned from the Assembly in 2013 over allegations of sexually harassing young women on his staff.
