Cuomo Accused Of Groping Woman, A Misdemeanor Sex Crime

ALBANY, N.Y. — A sheriffโ€™s officer has accused former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo of groping a woman in an investigation stemming from the scandal that drove him from office earlier this year.

But prosecutors said Thursday they didnโ€™t know the document had been filed. And the womanโ€™s attorney said she hadnโ€™t been consulted.

The brief complaint accused Cuomo of putting his hand under a womanโ€™s shirt last December.

The document didnโ€™t name the woman but Cuomo had been publicly accused of groping aide Brittany Commisso at the executive mansion in Albany around then.

Cuomoโ€™s lawyer accused the sheriff’s office of acting improperly.
