Prosecutor Drops Groping Charge Against Former NY Governor Cuomo
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — Albany's top prosecutor says he is set to drop a criminal charge accusing former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo of fondling an aide.
Albany County District Attorney David Soares’ decision comes three days before the Democratic ex-governor was due to answer the misdemeanor charge in court.
It follows a couple of moves by prosecutors elsewhere in the state not to pursue charges against Cuomo over his behavior toward women.
The Albany County sheriff filed a criminal complaint Oct. 28 accusing Cuomo of forcible touching.
Soares had said the complaint was “potentially defective.”
Cuomo has denied the allegations.
