State Sen. Kevin Parker, of Brooklyn, broke his silence on the rape lawsuit filed against him earlier this week.

Sen. Parker said in a statement, "I voted in favor of the ASA to ensure all New Yorkers can seek justice and be heard. While I cannot comment on the specifics of this litigation, I am completely confident in assuring my constituents, colleagues, and supporters these allegations are absolutely untrue. My work and advocacy will continue."

That claim is being brought by Olga Jean-Baptiste, officials say. Jean-Baptiste says Parker raped her in her apartment while they were working together to bring help to Haiti after serious flooding in 2004.
