Charlotte Bennett filed a complaint in state court in Manhattan saying the state of New York is liable for Cuomo’s sexual harassment and for the actions of his top aides, who failed to take corrective action once she reported it.
A onetime aide to former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo who accused him of sexual harassment in a federal lawsuit filed a separate lawsuit Wednesday against the state.
Bennett already filed a federal lawsuit in September against Cuomo and three top aides. In both suits, she says she was sexually harassed and retaliated against.Bennett, who turned 25 when she worked for Cuomo, claims he subjected her to invasive questions about her personal life and sexual relationships. He once told her he was "lonely" and wanted a girlfriend who lived in Albany, according to the state lawsuit.
An email seeking comment was sent to the attorney general's office, which defends the state against lawsuits.
