Former US governor charged with sexual harassment

Former New York governor Andrew Cuomo has been charged with a misdemeanour sex crime for forcible touching

A court spokesperson disclosed this today.

The charge is the first to be filed since the once-powerful politician was forced to resign this year following a slew of sexual harassment allegations.

A misdemeanour complaint against Andrew Cuomo was  filed in Albany city court  

The complaint accuses Cuomo of putting his hand down the victim’s blouse and grabbing her left breast in December 2020.

The court issued a summons ordering Cuomo to appear in court on November 17, 2021

He resigned in August after state attorney general Letitia James issued a report, which was not criminal in nature, concluding that he sexually harassed 11 women, including former staffers.
