NEW York Gov Andrew Cuomo has been accused of unwanted touching, and asking a young woman if he could kiss her at a 2019 wedding.
The story, which 33-year-old Anna Ruch shared on Monday, follows allegations of sexual harassment from two former Cuomo employees.
Ruch told the New York Times that she went up to the governor to compliment him on a speech he made at a friend’s wedding.
The governor then put his hand on Ruch’s bare back, she said. When she removed his hands, Ruch claims the governor called her “aggressive.”
He then grabbed her face and asked to kiss her, according to her account.
“I was so confused and shocked and embarrassed,” Ruch told The Times. “I turned my head away and didn’t have words in that moment.”
