Description A key Assembly committee is investigating complaints by at least five legislative staffers to Assembly member Rebecca Cohn, including two sparked by a photo shoot for San Jose Magazine in which Cohn allegedly asked aides to handle her bras and underwear.

Cohn's chief of staff, Cris Forsyth, said Thursday that Cohn could not discuss the situation because Assembly rules prohibit her from commenting on personnel issues.
