Prosecutors cited 'statutory requirements' that barred them from bringing criminal charges under state law.
The district attorney's office in Westchester County has determined that two separate allegations of misconduct against former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo were"credible," but declined to bring charges. Two women separately accused Cuomo of inappropriate conduct, specifically kissing their cheeks while he was governor.
The trooper alleged that while working as a member of the governor's detail at his home in Mount Kisco, Cuomo asked if he could kiss her, according to Rocah's office. She told investigators that she was concerned about what would happen if she denied his request, and so she said"sure.
Last week, the District Attorney for Nassau County in Long Island announced she would not prosecute the trooper's other allegation against Cuomo: that, as detailed in the attorney general's report, he had run"his hand across her stomach, from her belly button to her right hip, while she held a door open for him at an event" in September 2019.
