Ardila ignores calls for him to step down following sexual abuse allegations, victim says ‘he needs to resign’

By Christian Murray Posted on March 23, 2023

Ardila, a first-term assemblyman who represents western Queens, has been silent since he issued a statement on March 14, one day after several local news outlets reported allegations that he had sexually assaulted two intoxicated women at a party in October 2015.
