New York governor Andrew Cuomo has once again been accused of sexual harassment.
A second former aide to the New York Governor has come forward with sexual harassment allegation.
Charlotte Bennett, health policy advisor in the Cuomo Administration until November, told The New York Times that she was asked inappropriate questions about sex life by the New York governor.
A former deputy secretary of economic development recently accused Cuomo of subjecting her to an unwanted kiss and inappropriate comments.
Cuomo has denied both the allegations.
The Democratic governor said in a statement on Saturday that Bennet was a hardworking and valued member of the team during COVID. “She has every right to speak out,” he added.
“I never made advances towards Ms. Bennet,” he said. Cuomo said his intentions were never to act in an inappropriate way.
He asked New Yorkers to wait till the findings of the review, which will be conducted by a former federal judge, Barbara Jones, before making any judgment.
He said he has no further comments to make until the conclusion of the review.
