ALBANY, N.Y. — A New York state trooper who testified that former Gov. Andrew Cuomo sexually harassed her has filed a lawsuit Thursday asking a federal court to declare that Cuomo, a top aide and state police violated her civil rights.
“He commented on her appearance ; wanted to kiss her an I kiss you?’); asked her to find him a girlfriend who could ‘handle pain;’ and steered their conversations towards sex hy would you want to get married? ... your sex drive goes down’),” the suit said. DeRosa’s attorney Paul Schectman said his client only interacted with the trooper to say “hello and goodbye,” calling the lawsuit “beyond frivolous.”The lawsuit also claims Cuomo and DeRosa tried to silence the trooper and other women who alleged harassment.the trooper “attempted to extort me for money.” The lawsuit alleges that by doing so, DeRosa “retaliated” against the trooper, whose attorney in September sent a letter “asserting her legal rights” to Cuomo and DeRosa.
“The Governor and his enablers have threatened criminal charges against his victims and ethics charges against their attorneys in a blunt – but transparent – effort to dissuade them, including Trooper 1, from seeking to vindicate their legal rights under civil laws that prohibit sexual harassment,” the lawsuit reads.
