New York Dem Governor Cuomo indicted for harassing assistants
Big trouble for New York Dem Governor Andrew Cuomo: An aide eventually stepped forward and filed a criminal complaint against him for sexual harassment, for being, shall we say, improperly embraced.
Brittany Commisso – one of 11 women whose allegations against Cuomo were confirmed by a report released Tuesday by New York Attorney General Letitia James' office – told CBS This Morning that "the governor must be held accountable" for these acts.
Here is a video of the allegations:
According to the 168-page Attorney General's report, which identifies Commisso as “Executive Assistant No. 1 "of the governor, Cuomo" reached under her blouse and grabbed her breasts "on one occasion in November 2020," grabbed her butt "on" multiple occasions in 2019 and 2020 "and" rubbed them and grabbed her butt ”while taking a selfie on New Year's Eve 2019.
"What he did to me was a crime," Commisso said on Sunday. "He broke the law."
Commisso also said he suffered a series of inappropriate actions that started with Cuomo's "hugs and kisses on the cheek", but escalated when "he quickly turned his head and kissed me on the lips."
The executive assistant said she did not talk about her ordeal because she feared it would not be believed.
“I haven't said anything all this time,” he said on TV. “People don't understand that this is the governor of the state of New York. There are soldiers who are outside the villa and there is some staff from the villa. Those soldiers who are there are not there to protect me. They are there to protect him ».
That things are getting really bad for the governor is also highlighted by the fact that his assistant chief, Melissa De Rosa , has resigned, while confirming the confidence and gratitude in the governor. It is clear that no one wants to be on a sinking boat. Cuomo has tried to distract attention from his own personal scandals, but, at this point, it seems unlikely that he will be able to pull himself out of the multiple allegations of sexual harassment that are raining down on him.
