ALBANY — Pervy Assemblyman Vito Lopez tormented at least eight young female employees in his Brooklyn office with an unrelenting barrage of lurid, unwanted advances — and top Assembly officials, including Speaker Sheldon Silver let him get away with it for six months, two investigations released Wednesday reveal.

Women were forced to massage his body, pressured to spend the night with him in hotel rooms, instructed to wear skimpy skirts and high heels and subjected to “forced intimate contact” as Lopez repeatedly rubbed their thighs, even as they tried to swat him away, they told investigators.

One woman was made to feel the tumors on his neck, shoulder and armpit as Lopez, who has cancer, told her he was dying and “needed” her. Another contracted pinkeye after being made to put drops into his affected eye.
