Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a Democrat, was charged on Thursday with a misdemeanor sex crime related to forcible touching.
The complaint was filed by the Albany County Sheriff’s Office but it was immediately followed with confusion as to whether it was prematurely filed. The one-page filing accused Cuomo of placing his hand under a woman’s shirt in December 2020.
A summons has been issued to Cuomo directing him to appear in Albany City Court on Nov. 17. He is reportedly expected to be arrested and booked sometime next week, the New York Post reported.
