Rep. Tony Cárdenas (D-Calif.) in 2012. (Pablo Martinez Monsivais/AP)A woman who accused Tony Cárdenas (D-Calif.) of sexually abusing her as a 16-year-old has dropped her lawsuit against the congressman. Lawyers with the Bloom Firm noted in multiple filings that they were required to withdraw from the case under rules about professional conduct. The Post does not generally name alleged victims of sexual assault, but Chavez agreed to speak on the record. “Once in a while with one of these ‘#MeToo’ cases, the defendant is vindicated,” Glaser told The Post on Wednesday.
