Albany's top prosecutor says he is set to drop a criminal charge accusing former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo of fondling an aide.
"While we found the complainant in this case cooperative and credible, after review of all the available evidence we have concluded that we cannot meet our burden at trial," Albany County DA David Soares said in a statement."As such we have notified the Court that we are declining to prosecute this matter and requesting the charges filed by the Albany County Sheriff be dismissed.
The charges stemmed from a criminal complaint filed by the Albany County sheriff on Oct. 28 that accuses Cuomo of forcible touching. Soares had said previously that the complaint was"potentially defective."
