NY Governor Andrew Cuomo ‘Sexually Harassed Multiple Women’, State Attorney General Says

An investigation into New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has found that he sexually harassed current and former employees, the attorney general of New York has said.

James said the harassment created a hostile work environment and that the governor’s office was riddled with fear and intimidation. His actions are said to have violated state and federal laws, though Cuomo has repeatedly denied the allegations.

At a press conference discussing the conclusion of the probe, James said:

Specifically, the investigation found that Governor Andrew Cuomo sexually harassed current and former New York State employees by engaging in unwelcome and nonconsensual touching and making numerous offensive comments of a suggestive sexual nature, that created a hostile work environment for women.

James added that the situations formed part of a pattern rather than being isolated incidents.

The 165-page report is comprised of interviews with 179 witnesses as well as a review of tens of thousands of documents, with James saying the findings reveal a ‘deeply disturbing, yet clear, picture.’
