Harassment

A female aide to New York Gov Andrew Cuomo says the governor reached under her blouse and groped her when they were alone in his office, according to a report in the Albany Times-Union, reported by the New York Post. According to the Post, the Times-Union did not name the woman, and her story was related to them by a third party. In a statement, Cuomo said the woman’s story was “gut-wrenching,” but he reiterated his claim that he has “never done anything like this.” The NY Attorney General appointed former acting Manhattan US Attorney Joon Kim and veteran employment lawyer Anne Clark to lead an investigation of the allegations against Cuomo.
