Misdemeanor Sex Crime Complaint Filed Against Former Gov. Cuomo
Newsy
An Albany County Sheriff's Office investigator has filed a complaint against former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo accusing him of forcible touching.
A criminal complaint filed by a police investigator with a court in Albany has accused former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo of committing a misdemeanor sex crime, though there were reports Friday that the document might have been submitted in error.
The brief complaint, filed by an investigator with the Albany County Sheriff's Office, accused Cuomo of putting his hand under a woman's shirt Dec. 7, 2020. The document didn't name the woman, but Cuomo had been publicly accused of groping an aide, Brittany Commisso, at the executive mansion in Albany last year.
The Albany County district attorney's office and Albany County Sheriff did not immediately return messages, but the Times Union of Albany quoted unnamed officials as saying the complaint had been issued "prematurely" by the court and that a final decision hadn't been made about whether Cuomo would face charges.
