An upstate New York prosecutor announced Monday that he will not bring criminal charges against Andrew Cuomo, after investigating an allegation of unwanted physical contact by the former Democratic governor.
Oswego County District Attorney Gregory Oakes said in a statement that his office has concluded that"there is not a sufficient legal basis" to criminally charge Cuomo based on allegations made by Virginia Limmiatis. Limmiatis, an energy company worker, told investigators that Cuomo touched her chest during a May 2017 conservation event in Oswego County, New York. Oakes said he found Limmiatis to be reliable and reasonable.
"Wang said the decision not to charge Cuomo does not mean he acted"appropriately or lawfully," but she thanked the Oswego County district attorney's office for its consideration of the allegation. In a statement to CNN, Cuomo spokesman Rich Azzopardi once again slammed New York Attorney General Letitia James' report on harassment allegations against Cuomo as politically motivated, calling it a"political hit job.
