"The committee reviewed reports of preliminary inquiries concerning allegations of misconduct by Councilmember Andy King," Staten Island Councilman Steve Matteo said at a hearing Tuesday.

City Councilman Andy King may not have learned his lesson.

For the second time since being elected in 2012, the Bronx Democrat is the subject of an internal probe, facing accusations of sexual harassment, misuse of city resources, and a complaint that a member of his staff physically threatened others with violence. The council is also reviewing a complaint that King's wife has been conducting council business in his office, a violation of the city's nepotism rules.

Sources confirmed to NY1 that King's wife, Neva Shillingford-King, is routinely included on emails from the office. A source who often works with King's staff said she is so involved with the day-to-day operations they assumed it had been cleared by the ethics board.

"The allegations against Councilmember King include engaging in sexual harassment, permitting an associated person — spouse — to perform council business, creating a work environment where his spouse was permitted to engage in harassment of a council employee," Matteo said.

It's not the first time the Bronx Democrat faces allegations of misconduct. Last year, the council ordered King to take sensitivity training after a staffer accused him of improper workplace behavior, saying he repeatedly asked her to smile more while shaking her hand and refusing to let go until she did so. The training cost city tax payers $3,500.

According to Matteo, the chair of the council's Standards and Ethics committee, King has refused to sit down with the committee to be interviewed about the most recent allegations and is "refusing to cooperate with the investigation."

City Council Speaker Corey Johnson issued a statement, saying, "These are serious and disturbing allegations. I have faith that Chair Matteo and the Standards and Ethics Committee will investigate these allegations fairly and efficiently."

Multiple calls to the councilman's office went unanswered. A staffer at his district office said the councilman couldn't come to the phone and that he had no comment.

The council will now formally move forward with an internal review of the allegations. A special counsel will conduct an investigation, submit the findings, and make a recommendation on charges to the committee.
