Emily Martin, general counsel for the National Women’s Law Center told the Victoria Advocate newspaper in Texas that Farenthold’s new employer should take steps to protect the women he will be working with. “Hopefully, that very real threat of liability will lead the Port of Port Lavaca-Point Comfort to make sure that he does not have the opportunity to harass others, which means that those who came forward with complaints about his past behavior will have had a real impact and protected others by sharing their story,” she told the newspaper.
