When Cuomo again asked, the trooper told investigators, she did exactly that-prompting Cuomo to look at her “almost in disgust.” After discussing the incident with a colleague, the colleague recommended that she next time say she was sick. “he Governor placed his finger on the top of her neck and ran his finger down the center of her spine midway down her back,” the report alleges, “and said to Trooper #1, ‘Hey, you.’”Īt another point, Cuomo allegedly asked the trooper if he could kiss her, catching her off-guard. The first was when she was escorting him in an elevator, with the senior investigator also present. After she joined his team, Cuomo allegedly asked her why she didn’t wear a dress while working-a comment a senior officer suggested she should keep to herself-and on another occasion, warned her not to get married because “your sex drive goes down.” At another point, the report says, Cuomo told the trooper she was “too old” for him and that he was looking for a girlfriend who could “handle pain.” On three occasions, each of them corroborated, the governor allegedly touched the trooper in an inappropriate manner, The Washington Post noted. In one instance, for example, the governor met a female state trooper at an event and then requested that she be transferred to his personal detail, despite the fact that she didn’t have the required three years of experience. noting in a press conference that after interviewing 179 individuals and examining more than 74,000 documents, a “deeply disturbing, yet clear, picture” of Cuomo’s behavior had emerged.
Which, in retrospect, was a quaint thought! Instead, over the course of 165 pages, James’s office referred to numerous cringe-worthy, stomach-churning instances in which the governor sexually harassed nearly a dozen women, with the A.G. For a time, it seemed that while the report wouldn’t necessarily portray Cuomo in a great light, it might not be a complete and total career-ender. On Tuesday morning, New York attorney general Letitia James released the results of her office’s investigation into sexual harassment allegations against Governor Andrew Cuomo.
