Ex-Governor of New York, Andrew Cuomo, expected to be arrested next week.
Disgraced ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo was charged Thursday with groping a former aide in Albany's Executive Mansion — a crime that could send him to jail for a year if he's convicted.
A misdemeanor criminal complaint filed in Albany City Court alleges that Cuomo, 63,
"did intentionally, and for no legitimate purpose, forcibly place his hand under the blouse shirt of the victim ... and onto her intimate body part. Specifically, the victims [sic] left breast for the purposes of degrading and satisfying his sexual desire."
The incident allegedly took place on the afternoon of Dec. 7 on the second floor of the Executive Mansion, the governor's official residence.
The name of the alleged victim was redacted from the complaint, but a lawyer representing
former Cuomo aide Brittany Commisso, 33, acknowledged it's her.
The complaint charges Cuomo with forcible touching, which carries a maximum sentence of one year in jail.
The alleged evidence against him includes: a text message from Cuomo's cellphone, state police aviation records for Dec. 7 and news reports of a press conference that day, state police BlackBerry PIN messages, swipe card records from the state Capitol, and Commisso's testimony to the Attorney General's Office.
