Cuomo's Sixth Accuser

From the Times Union:

A female aide to Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo alleges he aggressively groped her in a sexually charged manner after she had been summoned to the Executive Mansion late last year, according to a person with direct knowledge of the woman's claims.

The staff member, whose identity is being withheld by the Times Union, had been called to the mansion under the apparent pretext of having her assist the governor with a minor technical issue involving his mobile phone. They were alone in Cuomo's private residence on the second floor when he closed the door and allegedly reached under her blouse and began to fondle her, according to the source.

The allegations by the female aide, who is the sixth woman to accuse Cuomo of inappropriate behavior, were first reported Tuesday by the Times Union. The additional details describe the most egregious behavior attributed to the governor to date — conduct that could potentially be pursued as a misdemeanor sexual assault charge.

The person briefed on the case, who is not authorized to comment publicly, said the woman — who is much younger than Cuomo — told the governor to stop. Her broader allegations include that he frequently engaged in flirtatious behavior with her, and that it was not the only time that he had touched her.

If this is true, Cuomo's statement about never toughing someone inappropriately would be flat-out false.

I wonder what Cuomo's seventh accuser will have to say. I'm sure there will be one.

As more details about Cuomo's inappropriate sexual behavior emerge, focus on Cuomo's other scandal and coverup must not ebb. Emphasis must remain on Cuomo's deadly COVID nursing home policies that killed thousands of people.
