WATCH: Woman Details Rape Claims Against Ex-Murphy Staffer

A woman who says she was raped by a former member of the Murphy administration is revealing her claims Tuesday before a state Legislative committee. Watch the video below.

"I should not be here today. I should not have been attacked," said Katie Brennan, who volunteered for the Murphy campaign last year and is now the chief of staff at the New Jersey Housing and Mortgage Finance Agency.

Brennan has accused Albert J. Alvarez of sexual assault. Alvarez, 44, of Wood-Ridge was hired as the chief of staff for the Schools Development Authority even though, according to published reports, he was accused of sexual assault while serving on the governor's campaign.

Alvarez resigned earlier this year, according to Politico, which first broke the story about the alleged sexual assault. Brennan said she's received literally no justice from anybody regarding her claims.

"Once again, my voice went unhead," she said during the hearing.

New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy says he's launching an investigation into a woman's claims that she was raped by a top staffer – yet the man still found a way to get a job in the Murphy administration.

"I wish we never made the hire in transition," Murphy said during a recent press conference. "I'm sick to my stomach."

Here is the hearing:

Murphy said former Supreme Court Justice Peter Venerio will run the investigation now that lawmakers have called for hearings since the woman has gone public with the details of her rape allegations. The Middlesex County Prosecutor's Office is also now investigating the case, state officials said.

Murphy avoided taking responsibility himself, saying the system should have worked better for the woman who made the accusations. The governor said he and his wife, Tammy, were not aware of the allegations until Oct. 2.

"We must lead and prove that commitment" to make the right hiring decisions, Murphy said. "Words are not enough."
