The late Cesar Chavez, one of the nation's most prominent civil rights leaders, has been accused of sexually abusing girls and women.

Civil rights activist Dolores Huerta said in a statement that she was manipulated and pressured into having sex with Chavez.

Huerta first revealed her allegations of the sexual assault to the New York Times, which published an investigation of allegations by her and two other women, who said they were 13 and 15 when Chavez first sexually molested them.

Chavez, who was Mexican American, is one of the most celebrated and recognized Latinos in modern U.S. history and an inspiration to generations who credit his work with inspiring their own activism and causes. He died in 1993.
