California Senator Faces Lawsuit Over Alleged Sexual Misconduct

Marie Alvarado-Gil accused by former chief of staff of coercing sex acts, resulting in severe injuries and retaliatory dismissal.

Chad Condit claims a 'sex-based quid pro quo relationship' with Alvarado-Gil left him with herniated discs and a collapsed hip.
Alvarado-Gil's attorney denies allegations, calling them financially motivated and without evidence.
The lawsuit alleges that Alvarado-Gil fired Condit after he rejected her advances and threatened his job security.
Condit seeks damages for lost wages, emotional distress, and loss of earning capacity.
Alvarado-Gil recently switched from the Democratic Party to the Republican Party, citing changes in party leadership and policies.
