One of New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s assistants is now accusing him of groping her while they snapped a selfie together. The assistant has filed a criminal complaint against the already disgraced governor with the Albany County Sheriff’s Office.
The victim of this particular incident, who is being identified as “Executive Assistant #1,” in AG Letitia James’ sexual harassment report, met with sheriff’s officials to file the complaint who then immediately contacted James. Sheriff Craig Apple told media there’s a good chance the governor would be arrested if the allegations are true.
“The end result could either be it sounds substantiated and an arrest is made and it would be up to the DA to prosecute the arrest,” he said.
“Just because of who it is we are not going to rush it or delay it,” he added.
This most recent victim may have reported the most serious accusation against the governor yet, alleging he pulled her in for a hug but instead reached under her shirt and grabbed one of her breasts.
“I mean it was—he was like cupping my breast. He cupped my breast,” the woman told investigators on AG James’ team.
“I have to tell you it was—at the moment I was in such shock that I could just tell you that I just remember looking down seeing his hand, seeing the top of my bra and I remember it was like a little even the cup—the kind of bra that I had to the point I could tell you doesn’t really fit me properly, it was a little loose, I just remember seeing exactly that,” she added, according to the report.
The victim also alleged that Cuomo groped her again after asking her to take a couple of selfies while alone inside his office at the Executive Mansion on Dec. 31, 2019.
