New York City talk radio was abuzz following the release of a damning report accusing Gov. Andrew Cuomo of sexually harassing multiple women.
The report released by state attorney general Letitia James said the embattled governor broke state and federal laws when he harassed current and former state employees.
77 WABC’s Lidia Curanaj said on her show, The Rundown, that Cuomo’s behavior led to an encounter with a state trooper assigned to his security detail.
“I have a friend of a friend who is a former state trooper,” said Curanaj. “He told me that the abuse that Cuomo has done is basically rampant.”
The five-month investigation spearheaded by James’ office was led by former acting Manhattan US Attorney Joon Kim and employment discrimination expert Anne Clark.
“One of the alleged victims of Cuomo’s harassment is a state trooper,” said Curanaj. “Technically, when you are assigned to security detail for the governor, you have to be a state trooper for at least four years.”
Curanaj said the unnamed woman was only a trooper for three years but caught the governor’s eye because “she was very attractive.”
“He (Cuomo) overstepped his bounds because he felt like he could do anything he wanted to,” said Curanaj. “This state trooper claimed that while she held open the door for him, he actually groped her.”
In an interview with investigators, Cuomo admitted that he might have kissed the trooper at an event but denied touching her.
