In 2019, Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed into a law a new measure that strengthens New York's sexual harassment laws by lowering the threshold for civil claims.
Investigators in a report released this week determined that was one of several laws Cuomo has broken. Employment attorney Kevin Mintzer called the report's findings a textbook example of sexual harassment.
"And I think if you read the report, what you get is the amount of detail and corroboration," he said.
The law changed New York's threshold for sexual harassment to a standard that requires a "pervasive" atmosphere to one in which a person is treated unfairly in the workplace because of their gender.
