Female aide said Cuomo aggressively groped her at Executive Mansion

Source: Albany Times Union

ALBANY — A female aide to Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo alleges he aggressively groped her in a sexually charged manner after she had been summoned to the Executive Mansion late last year, according to a person with direct knowledge of the woman's claims.

The staff member, whose identity is being withheld by the Times Union, had been called to the mansion under the apparent pretext of having her assist the governor with a minor technical issue involving his mobile phone. They were alone in Cuomo's private residence on the second floor when he closed the door and allegedly reached under her blouse and began to fondle her, according to the source.

The person, who is not authorized to comment publicly, said the woman — who is much younger than Cuomo — told the governor to stop. Her broader allegations include that he frequently engaged in flirtatious behavior with her, and that it was not the only time that he had touched her.

where the employee was summoned to the mansion under some pretext of work. Of course that might just be his MO.

Really incredible that Cuomo thought he could do this, and get away with it. What a guy.

The source refusing to identify herself.

And nobody has come up with actual evidence that “Roger Stone”/“the GOP” are bribing these women.

Have at it.

Trump needs a Gov who will pardon his massive NY crimes coming down hard & fast on his mobbed up 'businesses'

I'll believe what's obvious to me until the investigators reveal their findings.
