'The Governor sexually harassed a number of State employees through unwelcome and unwanted touching, as well as by making numerous offensive and sexually suggestive comments.'
Comments about appearances and fashion choices are mentioned frequently in the report, like the woman Cuomo compared to a “lumberjack” or an executive assistant who said the governor commented on her necklace after she looked up to find him staring down her shirt.
“[F]or whatever reason, in his office the rules were different,” said one woman who had her appearance praised and was touched by the governor. “It was just, you should view it as a compliment if the governor finds you aesthetically pleasing enough, if he finds you interesting enough to ask questions like that. And so even though it was strange and uncomfortable and technically not permissible in a typical workplace environment, I was in this mindset that it was the twilight zone and . . .
The big takeaways are damning. Not only did the report find that Cuomo demonstrated a pattern of behaving inappropriately with people inside and outside the state government, but investigators also said the people around him failed to adhere to internal protocols for handling these situations, unlawfully retaliated against one complainant, and generally created a culture of secrecy, loyalty, and fear.
“We reach the conclusion that the Governor sexually harassed a number of State employees through unwelcome and unwanted touching, as well as by making numerous offensive and sexually suggestive comments,” investigators wrote.
