Westchester District Attorney Mimi Rocah has declined to pursue criminal charges against former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

While her investigators found "credible evidence" the alleged conduct had occurred, Rocah said it fell outside the statute of limitations.

Rocah's investigation, which began after the release of the New York Attorney General's report on Cuomo, examined the accusations made by a state trooper on Cuomo's security detail and by a woman who alleged Cuomo gave her an unwanted kiss during an event at White Plains High School.

Rocah is the second prosecutor in recent weeks, after Nassau County's, to decline to prosecute Cuomo based on the statute of limitations.

[Faux pas]

1. BULLSHIT

[True Blue American]

2. He kissed a woman?

Do tell! This has gone far enough. Any woman who gets kissed can ruin a man’s life 10,20 years later?

3. Seems exactly that way.

7. He kissed a woman while being a politician.

If Joe Schmoe kisses a woman and the kiss was not welcome, a criminal allegation would be met with yawns. If it was decades later, it might muster a derisive chuckle.

A politician should not be criminally prosecuted to a greater extent than anybody else would for the same action.

8. Honestly think

What this does to both men, losing their career on vague accusations annd women who really were hurt!

Who brought the charges against him?

10. You're aware that both the NY AG and the Assemble Justice Committee said he broke the law?

Do we only fret about politicians losing their careers when they're on "our" side?

Personally, I'm a lot happier working under Governor Hochul.

14. That may be true

But Comey came out with a long winded story of how Hillary was careless after he said there was not enough evidence to indict her. She lost the election. Cuomo lost his Governor ship.

You may not like Cuomo but the fact remains 2 brothers had their careers ruined because one supposedly kissed a woman years ago.

How would you feel if one of your family members had that happen to them?

16. "Because one kissed a woman"

No that didn’t happen. First, there’s a chasm of difference between “was careless” and “engaged in rampant sexual harassment”. Second, Cuomo DIDN’T “kiss a woman”. He engaged in multiple instances of unwanted sexual attention with multiple women, none of them “plants” or “setups”.

I have a philosophy of broadly believing a woman’s accusations, rather than jumping to assumptions that, if, the accused is a Democrat, it must be a Republican plot. If you’d like to disagree, I’ll leave you to take it up with the rest of the community.

9. Yup, way too fishy for me to buy into the nonsense

[hamsterjill]

4. Seconded.

Someone just wanted him out of the way.

6. Agreed.

And he was my governor.

5. seem like ol' andy has one hell of a law suit ! bet it stick's ??

11. What Cuomo obviously needed was a knee to the balls nt

[Jetheels]

12. Cuomo's already been tried and convicted,

in the court of public opinion.
I guess cheek kisses are a criminal act.

[True Blue American]

15. Agree!
