NEW YORK

The organization devoted to helping women in the aftermath of sexual abuse issued a statement Monday urging further investigation into Kelly’s behavior, which has come under closer scrutiny over the past year as women have come forward to accuse him of everything from sexual coercion to physical abuse.
