NEW YORK - In the aftermath of the sexual assault charges that led to the downfall of former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, the Justice Department announced Friday that it reached a settlement with the state of New York for a series of reforms to protect women from sexually hostile work environments.
The department said at least 13 state employees were victims of unwelcome conduct. Previous disclosures listed 11 women, but not all were state employees, including several Cuomo met at public events.
"These things happened. These things happened to me and other women. And then a huge bureaucracy tried to bury us for telling the truth. Never again will I ever let anyone or any system harm me and other women that way," Cuomo accuser Linsay Boylan wrote on X.
