The accusation outlined in The Times Union was the latest made by a female employee against Mr. Cuomo over the past few weeks. The series of allegations began in late February when Lindsey Boylan, a former top official in the state’s economic development agency, published an essay describing a series of unsettling interactions with Mr. Cuomo. Mr. Cuomo flatly denied her allegations. She reported her encounter with Mr. Cuomo to two of his senior aides and was promptly transferred to another job in the State Capitol before leaving the administration in November. An independent inquiry, overseen by the New York State attorney general, may take months.
