Albany County district attorney won't move forward with groping case against Andrew Cuomo
CBSN
The district attorney in Albany County, New York, said Tuesday that he will not pursue a forcible touching charge against former Governor Andrew Cuomo. The announcement comes after months of friction between the district attorney and the county's sheriff, who initially filed the charge.
"While we found the complainant in this case cooperative and credible, after review of all the available evidence we have concluded that we cannot meet our burden at trial," Albany County District Attorney David Soares said in a statement. "As such we have notified the Court that we are declining to prosecute this matter and requesting the charges filed by the Albany County Sheriff be dismissed."
An attorney for Cuomo did not immediately reply to a request for comment.
