ALBANY, N.Y. — Another aide to New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has reported harassment by the governor, this time during an encounter at New York’s Executive Mansion, the Times Union reported Tuesday.
The unnamed aide told a supervisor that the governor inappropriately touched her at the mansion, the governor’s home, where she’d been summoned for work late last year, according to the newspaper.
This is the fourth allegation of harassment or inappropriate behavior by an employee of the governor during his time in office.
This February was the coldest in more than 30 years
Another woman, Anna Ruch, has said Cuomo made an unwanted advance when she met him at a wedding. She was not a state employee. Karen Hinton, a former aide to the governor and Mayor Bill de Blasio, has also accused him of an inappropriate encounter when she was working as a consultant for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development when Cuomo was the department’s secretary.
The new report has been referred to state Attorney General Tish James’ office, according to the Times Union. James is overseeing the investigation of harassment claims against the governor.
