A criminal complaint charging former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo with a misdemeanor sex offense was filed on Thursday in a court in Albany, the state capital, according to reports in the US media.</p>
<p>
The filing from the Albany County Sheriff&#39;s Office, accusing Cuomo of groping a woman under her blouse, was confirmed by a spokesman for the New York state courts, Lucian Chalfen, in an emailed statement referring to the alleged offense as a &quot;sex crime.&quot;</p>
<p>
Cuomo resigned in August following a months-long investigation by the State Attorney General that found he sexually harassed 11 women, including current and former state employees.</p>
<p>
A copy of the complaint posted online by WNBC-TV in New York said Cuomo engaged in the misdemeanor offense of &quot;forcible touching&quot; on Dec. 7, 2020, at the governor&#39;s Executive Mansion by placing &quot;his hand under the blouse shirt of the victim … and onto her intimate body part.&quot;</p>
<p>
The complaint goes on to say that Cuomo fondled the woman&#39;s breast &quot;for purposes of degrading and gratifying his sexual desires,&quot; but the name of the woman has not been mentioned.</p>
<p>
The week prior to his resignation, a former staffer of the governor&rsquo;s office Brittany Commisso filed a criminal report with the Albany County Sheriff&#39;s Office accusing the then-governor of groping her breast at the Executive Mansion in Albany late last year.</p>
<p>
Cuomo has denied all allegations of sexual misconduct or harassment. Following his resignation, he said the report was politicized and that there was a rush to judgment.</p>
