Content warning: this story references sexual harassment
An investigation into New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has found that he sexually harassed 11 women and created a toxic workplace in violation of the law, the state s top prosecutor said on Tuesday.
State Attorney General Letitia James unveiled the findings of the five-month independent inquiry, touching off calls from across the political spectrum for Mr Cuomo to step down.
In a video statement issued after the attorney general s briefing, Mr Cuomo, 63, denied he had acted inappropriately and made clear he had no plans to resign.
The civil investigation will not directly lead to criminal charges against Mr Cuomo, but the Albany County district attorney is conducting his own probe and requested any relevant material already gathered.
