Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo was charged with a misdemeanor sex crime for allegedly groping a woman at the Executive Mansion last year, officials said Thursday.
Lucian Chalfen, spokesman for the New York Court system confirmed to The Washington Post a complaint against Cuomo, who resigned in August after a state investigation found he sexually harassed 11 women.
“As this is a sex crime, a redacted complaint will be available shortly,” Chalfen said.
According to a copy of the complaint obtained by WNBC-TV in New York City, Cuomo committed the misdemeanor act of forcible touching at his official residence on the afternoon of Dec. 7.
“At the aforesaid date, time and location the defendant Andrew M. Cuomo did intentionally and for no legitimate purpose, forcibly place his hand under the blouse shirt of the victim [redacted] and into her intimate body part. Specifically, the victims (sic) left breast for the purposes of degrading and gratifying his sexual desires, all contrary to the provisions of the statute in such case made and provided,” the complaint states.
An Aug. 3, report by New York Attorney General Letitia James found that Cuomo sexually harassed multiple women both inside and out of government, took steps to retaliate against one of his accusers and that his administration fostered a hostile workplace.

OH Yeah… let push this **** …that’s a “he said… she said” looser prosecution, while ignoring 10’s of thousands of people that he killed by injection CHINA VIRUS infected people into nursing homes. “watch the shiny bobble in this …but DON’T look in the other hand”. Disgusting!
SO WHY Is it only Misdemeanor sexual harassment?? IMO WHAT HE DID should most assuredly be a felony!
Apparently to confused Democrat run city officials in charge of public morality, enforcing laws as written, and covering the six’s of their party sex obsessed politicians,,,,,only a misdemeanor is to be used to prosecute the felonious assaults and the blatant demeaning of an innocent Miss. In Mexico they allow the perps to be locked into rooms with the fathers, brothers and family members to meet out the corrective justice, no questions asked. In the 50’s I remember a man getting shot in the Illinois hospital parking lot by a man who later was identified as the father of the molested girl. No charges were made, and the crime rate was 1 murder every 20 years in that Chicago suburban city where now they are knocking off 20 per year. Oh for the good old days when clear mined men recognized evil for what it was and defied it as aggressively as the Democrats defy our Constitution today. Even today I Italy Cuomo would be potential food to be fed to the fishes.
He sexually harassed 11 women and only got a misdemeanor charge ? Where are the feminazis ?
He also Killed thousands of seniors, will that too be a misdemeanor ?? Or are they just going to continue to
ignore that little fact ?
Ignore it. Hell iirc, they already said a # of months back, NO CHARGES WILL ever get filed about that.
