Labor rights activist Dolores Huerta said in a statement released on Wednesday that she was sexually abused by Cesar Chavez, expanding on a New York Times investigation alleging the late labor leader groomed and abused young girls and women during his time as president of the United Farm Workers (UFW).
Huerta, co-founder of the UFW, published her statement on Medium after she shared her story publicly for the first time with the New York Times.
