An attorney for two women who have accused New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo of abusive behavior responded to the New York attorney general’s report, saying Cuomo’s “misogyny and abuse cannot be denied.”
Attorney Mariann Wang said the report “is extraordinarily thorough and detailed, and finds the governor repeatedly engaged in unlawful behavior.”
Wang added, “He has been doing this for years, without any repercussions.”
The attorney represents Alyssa McGrath, who still works for the governor, and Virginia Limmiatis, who says she was subjected to unwanted touching in 2017.
Wang said the report confirms Cuomo engaged in “profoundly humiliating and abusive behavior towards women who worked for and with him, including touching their intimate body parts without consent.”
“And more even than that, Cuomo and those around him punished anyone who dared to come forward and report his behavior,” Wang added.
“He should not be in charge of our government and should not be in any position of power over anyone else,” she said.
Cuomo has denied ever touching anyone inappropriately.
