NEW YORK, United States: Former New York governor Andrew Cuomo on Thursday (Friday in Manila) was charged with a misdemeanor sex crime for forcible touching, a court spokesman said. The charge is the first to be filed since the once-powerful politician was forced to resign this year following a slew of sexual harassment allegations. 'A misdemeanor complaint against former governor Andrew Cuomo has been filed in Albany City Court,' said Lucian Chalfen, a spokesman for the New York state courts, describing it as a 'sex crime.' The complaint accuses Cuomo of putting his hand down the victim's blouse and grabbing her left breast in December 2020. It was filed by the Albany County sheriff's office on behalf of New York state.
