""As someone who has spent decades prosecuting violent criminals, including rapists, I know firsthand the courage it takes for a survivor to come forward," Donnelly told The Post."
""Anyone seeking to be Nassau County District Attorney must make it clear that rhetoric like this - rhetoric that could discourage women from reporting rape - has no place in our community," Donnelly said."
""Nicole Aloise must condemn Seth Koslow, rebuke his disgusting anti-woman comments, and make it clear that she will not tolerate this kind of rhetoric,'' the DA said. "The women of Nassau County deserve nothing less.""
Nassau County District Attorney Anne Donnelly demands that Democratic opponent Nicole Aloise publicly condemn a 2013 law-school article by county Legislator Seth Koslow that suggested women may fabricate rape claims to hide promiscuity or as fantasy. Donnelly labels the passages disqualifying and anti-woman, argues Koslow has no business in public office, and calls anything short of condemnation unacceptable because such rhetoric could discourage survivors from reporting rape. Koslow's campaign maintains the passages cited other sources and do not reflect his personal beliefs and accuses Republicans of political weaponization. Aloise refuses to distance herself and counters that Donnelly failed survivors, citing a spike in reported sexual assaults and the closure of the SAFE Center for lack of county funding.
