 CINOP CUOMO SEXUALLY HARASSED MULTIPLE WOMEN, PROBE FINDS

THE REVIEW FINDINGS IN BRIEF BY DEANNA PAUL, PAGE 4

 

    "The New York attorney general's office released its long awaited report against New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

 

    The 165 page report issued by Attorney General Letitia James detailed a pattern of alleged sexual harassment by Mr. Cuomo, and portrayed a work-place rife with bullying and intimidation.

 

    Investigators, who said they reviewed more than 74,000 pieces of evidence and interviewed 179 people since launching the the probe in March, concluded the following:

 

    Mr. Cuomo harassed 11 women by engaging in unwanted and inappropriate groping, kissing, hugging, and making sexually suggestive comments.

 

    Mr. Cuomo and senior officials took unlawful retaliatory actions by trying to discredit and disparage a former employee for coming forward with allegations of harassment by the governor.

 

    Mr. Cuomo sexual harassment and the retaliation against a former staffer violated multiple state and federal laws, including Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the New York State Human Rights Law, as well as his office's own equal employment policies.

 

    Mr. Cuomo's office didn't ensure employees understood or enforced the policies and procedures in place regarding work place sexual harassment. This failure exacerbated challenges female staffers already faced in reporting sexual harassment. 

 

    The office was a hostile and abusive work environment which normalized the governor's flirtations behavior and paved the way for harassment to occur. 

 

    Some witnesses said Mr. Cuomo's "special attention was a better alternative to the otherwise tense, stressful and toxic experience."
