Embattled New York Governor Andrew Cuomo faced new allegations of sexual assault this week that local police in Albany confirmed “could rise to the level of a crime” as local authorities investigate the issue.
“Albany Police Department officials said on Thursday that they had been notified by the New York State Police and the governor’s office about an alleged incident at the Executive Mansion involving Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo and a female aide that may have risen ‘to the level of a crime,’” reports the New York Times.
“Steve Smith, a spokesman for the Albany police, said that the department had not received a formal complaint from the woman, who has not been identified, but that it had reached out to a lawyer for her,” adds the newspaper.
At least six different women have come forward and accused the top Democrat of inappropriate behavior over the last several years.
