I do think sometimes "touching, hugging" can be innocent and misconstrued. Even the unwanted kiss on the cheek during a wedding party.
But the grabbing of the butt seems to be a pattern and that's pretty clear cut.
Unless he comes back with a pretty good explanation for each one, yeah he should go.
Quote:
One unnamed state employee told investigators that Cuomo put his hand on, tapped and then grabbed her buttocks at an event where he had been speaking in New York City in September 2019. She contemporaneously memorialized the governor's inappropriate touching in an email dated the day after the incident, according to the report.
Another accuser, Anna Ruch, whose account CNN has previously reported on, received an unwanted kiss on the cheek from the governor in September 2019 at a wedding party for one of the his senior aides, according to the report. Photographic evidence taken by one of Ruch's friends was provided to investigators, and after the incident Ruch told friends what had happened and how upset she was by Cuomo's actions, the report said.
An unnamed executive assistant told investigators that Cuomo touched and grabbed her buttocks while they were hugging. The report said that Cuomo asked her "multiple times about whether she had cheated or would cheat on her husband, and asking her to help find him a girlfriend." Initially she kept the allegation to herself, according to the report, and later reported the claims to senior staff in the Executive Chamber after a March 3 press conference in which Cuomo said he "never touched anyone inappropriately."
