Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo will not face criminal charges for alleged sexual harassment in Westchester County, the local district attorney announced Tuesday.
Westchester County District Attorney Mimi Roach announced that Cuomo would not face criminal charges for allegedly asking a state trooper if he could kiss her and grabbing a school employee and kissing her without her consent.
“Our investigation found credible evidence to conclude that the alleged conduct in both instances described above did occur,” Roach said in a statement. “However, in both instances, my office has determined that, although the allegations and witnesses were credible and the conduct concerning, we cannot pursue criminal charges due to the statutory requirements of the criminal laws of New York.”
According to the investigations, the trooper was working on Cuomo’s detail at his home in Mount Kisco when she asked the governor if he needed anything to which he asked if he could kiss her.
“She further indicated that she was concerned about the ramifications of denying the governor’s request and so she said ‘sure,'” the district attorney’s office said. “The governor then kissed her on the cheek and, as indicated in the attorney general’s report, ‘said something to the effect of, “oh, I’m not supposed to do that” or “unless that’s against the rules.”‘”
The school employee said that Cuomo “pulled her toward him and kissed her on the cheek without seeking permission for such a greeting while the two were at an event at White Plains High School.”
Last week, the Nassau County district attorney also announced that harassment allegations against Cuomo within the county would not lead to a criminal case, despite calling the allegations “credible” and “deeply troubling.”
In October, Cuomo was charged with a misdemeanor sex crime for allegedly groping a woman at the Executive Mansion last year.
He resigned in August after a state investigation found he sexually harassed 11 women.

Had this been a Republican that did this in New York, charges would have been brought against him. The filthy liberal politicians, like Cuomo, are always given a pass by the “No Justice Prosecutors”.
Just like had it been a republican governor, who WILLINGLY SENT thousands of old aged people into nursing homes, to DIE From covid, they’d have already been charged with negligent homicde etc… BUT CAUSE CUOMO IS A rabid commucrat, HE IS ABOVE the law…
Of course not—he’s a Democrat. Membership has its privileges—you get a lifetime get-out-of-jail-free card.
Even Ex New Yorker Trump once bragged he could get away with murdering someone in the middle of Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, but I believe he was still a New York Democrat at the Time. I doubt he would now say that as a Republican, even in jest. Cuomo got off by murdering tens of thousands of Nursing home grannies. Just goes to show you the power of Democrat party political corruption where even Clintonian Arkansas dirt baths given by Arkansas dirt bags like Hillary never get prosecuted when the Democrat skeletons in the closet get buried along with the crimes.
THe left, ATTACKED HIM On that “i could kill someone” comment, when he ran against hillary, iirc, prior to the 2016 election..
Hillary being the prime example.
In Hillary’s case it’s ‘no brag, just fact’.
Forget sexual harassment charges, try charges of MURDER!!!
Shush ! Your not allowed to say that it breaks all the Socialist/Marxist Democrat rules. Carry on nothing to see there.
Sgt Shultz, “I ZEE Nothing”, must be the father of this DA..
He will be judged by one and his torture and torment will last forever. He only escaped judgement in NY.
Luke 16:20-24
“And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.

“Pope Francis, have mercy on me, and send the molested women that they may dip the tips of their finger in the water and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame” ,,,,and the Pope responded “ I have AC problems of my own, and even the living water won’t help us now, because in life as in death our lips are sealed.”
Well, I never saw that coming…what a weasel, he’ll get his when he least expects it.
In the end he will 1946… when he’s strapped to a cross and his nose is 1/8 of an inch from Jesus’s who is …Nailed.. to his cross …face to face… he’ll have to explain his actions. I’d love to be a fly on the wall that day.
Thank God the #metoo movement is coming to the women’s defense!!
I’m not surprised by this decision. Anyone who is subjected to the highly unwanted disgusting sexual actions of another should be on IMMEDIATE NOTICE that no matter of the situation or who’s involved, THEY MUST COME FORWARD IMMEDIATELY or face the exact same situation that Cuomo’s victims are now facing! Unfortunately, for future victims, the #metoo movement was only a one trick pony charade dreamed up to completely DESTROY, without a scintilla of merit, a now confirmed Supreme Court Justice. Never one to lose faith, I believe that there are a boatload of other criminal charge worthy skeletons in Cuomo’s closet. Most likely enough to make any self-respecting State Attorney giddy with joy!
That’s the problem JR… there …. ISN’T …. a “self-respecting State Attorney” in NY. Every blue state communist sympathizing politician is on the take for their own personal gain… and the country be damned… they don’t care… they’ll be dead before the excrement hits the fan from their actions.
