. Cuomo Accused Of Sexual Harassment By Former Adv
Post# of 123781
A former adviser to New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has shared details of alleged sexual harassment by the governor, including an unwanted kiss and touching. A spokeswoman for Cuomo denied the allegations.
In a post on Medium published Wednesday, Lindsey Boylan describes troubling behavior from the time she first met the governor in January 2016. Boylan served as an economic advisor in the Cuomo administration from 2015 to 2018.
"Governor Andrew Cuomo has created a culture within his administration where sexual harassment and bullying is so pervasive that it is not only condoned but expected. His inappropriate behavior toward women was an affirmation that he liked you, that you must be doing something right. He used intimidation to silence his critics," she writes.
Boylan said her immediate boss had informed her early in her job that the governor had a "crush" on her, and that aides to the governor would keep tabs on her whereabouts. The governor "would go out of his way to touch me on my lower back, arms and legs," Boylan alleges.
