Gabryszak resigned in January 2014 after several former staff members accused him of sexual harassment. On December 30, 2015, the state Joint Commission on Public Ethics issued a 15-page report concluding that the former assemblyman had engaged in “inappropriate sexually charged conduct and improperly used state resources for his re-election campaign.” According to the report, more than a half-dozen staffers were harassed, including lewd statements, invitations and physical advances. The report also stated that numerous former staffers said they spent large amounts of their work time, upwards of 60 to 80 percent, on campaign activities rather than state business. The commission's conclusion that Gabryszak violated the state Public Officers Law opened up the possibility of criminal charges by the state Legislative Ethics Commission.
