The Albany County sheriff said during a press conference that New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo could face a possible misdemeanor charge following a criminal complaint filed against him this week.
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo could face a possible misdemeanor charge from allegations of criminal sexual conduct, the Albany County sheriff said during a press conference on Saturday.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo talks on the phone while walking at the New York state Executive Mansion in Albany N.Y., Aug. 7, 2021. Apple said next steps include waiting for the attorney general's investigation material to come in and an interview with the victim. From there, the sheriff’s office will sit with the Albany district attorney’s office to decide whether to move forward with a criminal charge.
"He is 63 years old. He has spent 40 years in public life and for him to all of the sudden be accused of a sexual assault of an executive assistant that he really doesn't know, doesn't pass muster," Glavin said in a press conference Friday in response to the complaint.
