The former governor of New York has filed a legal notice that he intends to sue former aide Charlotte Bennett for making the allegation.
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Thursday filed a legal notice that he intends to sue a woman who accused him of sexual harassment.
The filing accuses former aide Charlotte Bennett of defaming Cuomo in a Dec. 9 statement that said the former governor sexually harassed her.
Bennett came forward in 2021 as the second woman to accuse Cuomo of sexual harassment, alleging he subjected her to invasive questions about her personal life and sexual relationships. Cuomo denies Bennett’s allegations. She later sued over the alleged misconduct in separate cases in state and federal court.
Cuomo resigned in 2021 after a report from the state attorney general found he sexually harassed at least 11 women.
Earlier this month, Bennett dropped her federal lawsuit against Cuomo before she was to be deposed. In a statement announcing the case was being dropped, a law firm representing Bennett said Cuomo “sexually harassed” her. Bennett reposted the statement on the social platform X.
