Cuomo faces new sexual harassment allegation, this time at Executive Mansion
Female aide claims governor touched her inappropriately; complaint reported to AG
ALBANY — A sixth woman has leveled allegations of sexual harassment or inappropriate conduct against Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, after a supervisor in the Executive Chamber recently became aware the woman said that the governor inappropriately touched her late last year during an encounter at the governor's mansion, where she had been summoned to do work.
An official close to the matter on Tuesday confirmed to the Times Union that the new allegation had been made. The governor's office learned of the matter on Monday, an aide said.
In response to questions about the handling of the revelation of the woman's allegations, Beth Garvey, acting counsel to the governor, said: "All allegations that we learn of directly or indirectly are going promptly to the investigators appointed by the attorney general."
Cuomo, in a conference call with reporters on Tuesday afternoon, claimed he was unaware of the woman's allegations. He also has not denied touching women, but has said if he did it was not "inappropriate."
