NY Secretary of State Rossana Rosado once accused of sexual harassment

Gov. Andrew Cuomo allegedly dismissed a past complaint of sexual harassment against a high-level member of his administration when choosing her for the job, according to a source.

Rossana Rosado, who got the gig as New York’s Secretary of State in 2016, was once accused of propositioning a male editor working for her when she helmed the Spanish-language newspaper El Diario. Julio Malone claimed in a complaint to the city’s Commission on Human Rights that he was fired for rejecting Rosado’s advances, which included asking him to go to Fire Island with her and giving him a book with lipstick kiss mark on it.
