The trooper, who filed the suit anonymously in the Eastern District of New York, said in the complaint that Cuomo touched her inappropriately, kissed her, repeatedly commented on her appearance and made a string of sexually suggestive remarks.
, departed the news outlet this month after the investigation into the younger Cuomo revealed their previously undisclosed relationship.The trooper, who has not been publicly identified, said in the attorney general’s report that she remains fearful of speaking out about the incidents, but agreed to talk to investigators because “at the end of the day, if I could help validate these women, I think that’s more important than … my own, you know personal life.
Her attorney, Valdi Licul, said in a statement that she has proceeded with the lawsuit anonymously “with the hope that she can vindicate her legal rights and move on with her life,” adding that she wouldn’t be deterred by Cuomo’s “bullying tactics.”Her lawsuit detailed several moments she felt uncomfortable or violated, including an incident in an elevator at Cuomo’s New York City office, when the lawsuit says he ran his finger down her back, touched her bra clasp and said “Hey, you.
According to the trooper, the governor’s conversations became increasingly sexual. After she was assigned to his Mount Kisco residence, she said Cuomo offered to give her a tour of the governor’s mansion. In another conversation, the lawsuit says, she told him she planned to marry and he responded that “your sex drive goes down.
“I didn’t do it consciously with the female trooper,” Cuomo said then. “I did not mean any sexual connotation. I did not mean any intimacy by it. I just wasn’t thinking. It was a mistake, plain and simple. I have no other words to explain it. I want to personally apologize to her and her family.”
