A longtime aide to New York Attorney General Letitia James abruptly quit on Friday amid allegations he sexually harassed at least two women, according to a report.

Ibrahim Khan, James' chief of staff, was accused by at least one woman of inappropriately touching and kissing them. The news report — which cited people with knowledge of the matter — said one of the women's accusations was substantiated.

Khan has been James' chief of staff for nearly a decade, going back to the AG's days as New York City's public advocate beginning in 2013, according to his LinkedIn page. In a statement to Gothamist, Khan said the timing of his resignation had nothing to do with the allegations. “After a successful four-year term, I’ve been slated to leave the office for the private sector at the end of this year," Khan wrote. "This is unrelated to an investigation which, nevertheless, found no official workplace misconduct. I’m proud of all we have achieved over these past four years in serving New Yorkers.”

James aggressively went after former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who was accused by 11 women of sexual misconduct. Her report ultimately led to Cuomo's resignation in August of last year.
