Westchester District Attorney Miriam Rocah launched a criminal inquiry on Wednesday into Gov. Andrew Cuomo‘s conduct after a report said the Democrat sexually harassed close to a dozen women and created a hostile work environment characterized by intimidation tactics.
On Tuesday, New York State Attorney General Letitia James released the findings of a monthslong investigation and said Cuomo repeatedly engaged “in unwelcome and nonconsensual touching,” after which he and members of his office engaged in “retaliatory” behavior by “intend[ing] to discredit and disparage” some women who sought to report their experiences. James did not pursue criminal charges against the embattled governor, leaving the option open for local jurisdictions to review the evidence and launch their own investigations.
