"Sexual Harassment Lawsuit Filed Against Former Governor Andrew Cuomo: Key Details"

Brittany Commisso, one of the accusers of former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, has filed a lawsuit alleging repeated sexual harassment and retaliation. The lawsuit comes under the Adult Survivors Act, extending the time period for filing sexual harassment claims. Cuomo resigned in August 2021 following multiple allegations of sexual misconduct. Commisso's allegations led to a criminal charge against Cuomo, which was dismissed last year. Cuomo's attorney denies the claims, stating they are false. Commisso was identified as "Executive Assistant No. 1" in the Attorney General's report accusing Cuomo of sexually harassing 11 women.
