NYT: Second woman comes forward against cuomo. Sexual overtures during pandemic

ALBANY, N.Y. — A second former aide to Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo is accusing him of sexual harassment, saying that he asked her questions about her sex life, whether she was monogamous in her relationships and if she had ever had sex with older men.
The aide, Charlotte Bennett, who was an executive assistant and health policy adviser in the Cuomo administration until she left in November, told The New York Times that the governor had harassed her late last spring, during the height of the state’s fight against the coronavirus.
Ms. Bennett, 25, said the most unsettling episode occurred on June 5, when she was alone with Mr. Cuomo in his State Capitol office. In a series of interviews this week, she said the governor had asked her numerous questions about her personal life, including whether she thought age made a difference in romantic relationships, and had said that he was open to relationships with women in their 20s — comments she interpreted as clear overtures to a sexual relationship.
Ms. Bennett said that during the June encounter, the governor, 63, also complained to her about being lonely during the pandemic, mentioning that he “can’t even hug anyone,” before turning the focus to Ms. Bennett. She said that Mr. Cuomo asked her, “Who did I last hug?”
Ms. Bennett said she had tried to dodge the question by responding that she missed hugging her parents. “And he was, like, ‘No, I mean like really hugged somebody?’” she said.
“I understood that the governor wanted to sleep with me, and felt horribly uncomfortable and scared,” Ms. Bennett said. “And was wondering how I was going to get out of it and assumed it was the end of my job.”
Ms. Bennett said she had disclosed the interaction with Mr. Cuomo to his chief of staff, Jill DesRosiers, less than a week later and was transferred to another job, as a health policy adviser, with an office on the opposite side of the Capitol, soon after that. Ms. Bennett said she had also given a lengthy statement to a special counsel to the governor, Judith Mogul, toward the end of June.

CNN's broadcast tonight will lead with pictures of Ted Cruz's trip to Cancun.

Believe all women!

I don't think this is foul play. Adults can talk. I wouldn't call this harassment.

So now we are going to hang someone because of conversations?

Media is trying to make it all about sexual harassment accusations... to distract from the fact that Cuomo killed over 10k elderly.

So she remembers exact dates, exact sentences, their context, location, everything. Even reported them at the time and told multiple others about what happened, AT THE TIME.
But Blasey-Ford, who did none of that, is believed and got a million times more exposure than this poor woman I'm sure.

Are we still believing all women or nah?
Posted on 2/27/21 at 6:41 pm to HailHailtoMichigan!
I'd do her.

I wish in these cases one of the women had worn a wire. Get it all on tape then don't release the tape until after Cuomo has spent a full month denying and lying about the accusations.

Keep in mind, his harassment was happening DURING the pandemic while Cuomo was "writing" a self-congratulatory book about his leadership.
Also, having done over a dozen stories about sexual misconduct, it's rare to have this much contemporaneous evidence.

Cuomo just wanted to give her an injection.
