New York [US], March 2 (ANI): A third woman has accused New YorkGovernorAndrew Cuomo of unwanted advances in 2019, amid an escalating crisis for the governor who is already facing two sexual harassment allegations.
In an interview with the New York Times on Monday, the woman Anna Ruch on Monday said that during a crowded wedding reception in New York in 2019, Cuomo had put his hand on her bare lower back.
She further said the governor had remarked then that she seemed aggressive and placed his hands on her cheeks. He asked if he could kiss her, loudly enough for a friend standing nearby to hear. Ruch was bewildered by the entreaty, she said, and pulled away as he drew closer.
