Newsweek reports:
A sixth woman, who is a member of the New York state Executive Chamber’s staff, has come forward with allegations of sexual harassment or inappropriate conduct against Governor Andrew Cuomo.
A supervisor in the Executive Chamber recently became aware that the woman had alleged that Cuomo inappropriately touched her late last year during an encounter at the governor’s mansion, where she had been working, according to the Times Union. The complaint was reported by other employees in the chamber.
An aide confirmed to the newspaper that the governor’s office learned of the matter on Monday. Cuomo’s office has informed the attorney general’s office, which is investigating multiple allegations of sexual harassment made against the governor.
Joon Kim, a former acting U.S. attorney for the Southern District in Manhattan, and Anne Clark, a lawyer who specializes in labor law and sexual harassment cases, have been appointed by New York Attorney General Letitia James to oversee the probe.
Five other women have made claims against Cuomo since late February. Among them are four former aides, Lindsey Boylan, Charlotte Bennett, Ana Liss and Karen Hinton, as well as a woman he met at a wedding in 2019 named Anna Ruch.
