New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is now facing yet another sexual harassment allegation from a new woman. She is accusing Cuomo of touching her inappropriately after she had been called into work at the governor’s mansion last year.
Cuomo claimed to be unaware of the most recent accusation when questioned about the new report just one hour after being published.
The governor continues to maintain his innocence stating, “As I said last week, this is very simple, I never touched anyone inappropriately. As I said last week, I never made any inappropriate advances.”
He also pleaded with the public to hold their judgment until after the release of a state attorney general’s office investigation into the matter.
The report did not state the accuser’s name but it’s reported that she works as a staffer in the Executive Chamber.
The newest claim makes six accusations against Cuomo, the fifth being an individual working for the governor at the time the alleged incident took place.
Cuomo’s first accuser, Lindsey Boylan, slammed the governor in a Twitter post after the Times Union published the report.

In a separate post, Boylan wrote, “When will our collective pain and trauma be enough?” and retweeted a message she shared over the weekend when two former staffers stepped forward with more sexual misconduct allegations.
Boylan, who also happens to be a former aide, put some weight behind her allegation by writing an essay in which she accuses the governor of kissing her on the lips without her content and making lewd remarks. She also alleges Cuomo said they should “play strip poker” while traveling on a work-related flight.
The governor’s office denies every accusation.
