Expressing sympathy for the alleged victim and frustration with how her case was handled, Gov. Phil Murphy ordered an investigation Monday into how his team responded to allegations a senior staffer raped a woman while he worked for the governor's campaign last year.
An independent investigation will look into why former campaign staffer Albert J. Alvarez was hired to a top state job despite the sexual assault allegation, the governor said.
"I wish we hadn't made the hire in transition, period," Murphy said during a 33-minute press conference in Newark. "I'm sick to my stomach once I heard what happened."
The investigation will be led by Peter Verniero, a former state attorney general and state Supreme Court justice.
Murphy, a Democrat, said it will be an in-depth probe, unlike the investigation of sexual assault allegations against U.S. Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, a Republican, made during his U.S. Senate confirmation hearings.
"We will not follow the lead of Washington," Murphy said. "This will be a real investigation."

This is a cover up and the media is completely ignoring this story. A police report was filed yet nothing has been moving forward...
This is utter garbage reporting. The innuendo - and innuendo can be prosecuted in a civil case as defamatory - is that a sitting supreme court judge is a rapist.
well either lies today from Murphy or lies a few days ago when he/his office said he was sure everything was handled properly about her claim.
Rape murder arson and rape

The woman who made and is making the allegations went to the cops and got medical care the next day after the alleged assault.
I’d say local LE and the gov have some splainin’ to do.
Ford accused Kavanaugh of nothing more than groping her through clothes that were overtop a bathing suit. That is a country mile from rape. But the media moves from grope accusation to rape without missing a beat.
I thought it was about Menendez.
“A police report was filed yet nothing has been moving forward...”
