'I wish it was legal to sleep with under-age girls': Assemblyman accused of groping 'fantasised about 14-year-olds'

A powerful New York lawmaker is accused of saying that he found a 14-year-old intern so 'sexy' that he wished he lived in a state where it was legal to sleep with underage girls.

Brooklyn Democrat Vito J. Lopez, 71 told his twisted fantasy to at least one person from his district office, a source told the New York Daily News.

The 14-year-old girl he allegedly made the crude comments about is the daughter of Brooklyn Judge Pamela Fisher.

Fisher helped Lopez get elected and the politician and her family remain close, reported the New York Daily News.

After the comments were reported to police by another staffer the young intern was interviewed - she told investigators she had only been working for Lopez for six days.

She also told police that she had never heard him say anything inappropriate - authorities determined 'nothing of a criminal nature' took place, a source said.
