De Blasio Blasts Ex-Gov. Cuomo after Sex Charge

  • Mayor Bill de Blasio lauded Albany law enforcement officials Friday for charging disgraced ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo with forcible touching for allegedly groping a subordinate in the governor’s mansion last winter — one in a slew of scandals that forced him from office.
  • “Here’s a guy, who’s incredibly powerful, who’s now being held accountable,” de Blasio said Friday. “Eleven women were harassed and abused and mistreated and they stood up, and now they’re getting justice.
  • “They deserved real action,” he added.
