Anna Ruch, 33, told the Times in an interview published Monday that the governor put his hand on her lower back and then her cheeks asking if he could kiss her at a wedding in 2019. Her allegations come after two former aides to Cuomo have come forward and accused the governor of sexual harassment.
In response to the Times report, Rice tweeted out a link to the article with the text, “The time has come. The Governor must resign.”
