Bennet, a former executive assistant and health policy adviser in Cuomo’s administration until November 2020, told the New York Times that Cuomo pried into her sex life, asking if she had ever had sex with older men and if she ever had monogamous relationships. The 25-year-old told the Times that the incidents occurred late spring of 2020. “I understood that the governor wanted to sleep with me,” she told the Times.
