The Albany County Sheriff plans to hold a press conference on Saturday to discuss the criminal complaint his office received from an assistant this week, he said, the governor of New York. Andrew Cuomo Touched her breasts in the governor’s mansion.
Sheriff Craig Apple said on Twitter that at the press conference at 12 o’clock in the afternoon, “no report will be released and details will be limited.” “Please understand that this is an active investigation,” he said.
This complaint is the first known case in which a woman filed a formal report on Cuomo’s alleged misconduct to a law enforcement agency. The Sheriff’s Office stated that if investigators or county prosecutors determine that he is guilty, the Democratic governor may be arrested.
New York Governor Cuomo sexually harassed multiple women in “hostile” workplaces: investigation
The helper who filed the report accused Cuomo of reaching out to touch her shirt when they were alone in a room in the administrative building last year. The woman also told investigators in the Attorney General’s Office that Cuomo had rubbed her buttocks when they took a group photo.
Cuomo’s lawyer Rita Glavin said that the groping accusation was fabricated.
“He is 63 years old this year. He has spent 40 years in public life and suddenly he was accused of sexually assaulting an administrative assistant. He really didn’t know it and failed the review,” Gravin said.
After an independent investigation supervised by the Office of the State Attorney General concluded that Cuomo sexually harassed 11 women and tried to retaliate against one of his accusers, Cuomo once again faced a call to step down.
The Attorney General’s report describes a series of alleged misconduct by Cuomo with an assistant known as Administrative Assistant #1, and finally fumbled at the mansion in November 2020.
According to the lady, when she was about to leave the governor’s office, Cuomo took her and hugged her. Telling him “you will cause us trouble”, Cuomo replied, “I don’t care”, and then slammed the door. According to her, he put his hand on her shirt and grabbed her bra.
“I must tell you that at the time, I was very shocked, I can only tell you, I only remember looking down at his hand and seeing the top of my bra,” she told investigators.

Cuomo firmly denied touching her breasts, saying “I must lose my mind to do such a thing.”
The Judiciary Committee of the State Assembly plans to meet on Monday to discuss the possibility of impeachment against Cuomo. Nearly two-thirds of the legislature has stated that if he does not resign, they are in favor of an impeachment trial.
