It's hard to find news articles about the specific allegations. I only found one mention that he may have touched a woman's breasts. Most articles seem to suggest he made inappropriate comments? Ok, what were the specific comments he made?
Hard to have an opinion on this without knowing the details.
Have fun ... it's 168 pages and super easy to find.
He's innocent until proven guilty.
Too many things are broadly considered "sexual harassment" these days.
Innocent touches/pats on the shoulder, hugs, polite french style kissing on the cheeks, etc, is not sexual harassment in my book. If someone is not comfortable with such body language or gestures then they should say so right away so it does not become a future issue.
If he touched women's breasts, butts, or groins, then that is definitely sexual harassment/assault.
Polite comments about women's outfits or just saying 'you look good today' or whatever is not sexual harassment either.
If he made comments about their boobs or their nice a**, then yeah that could be sexual harassment if the woman did not want to be complimented in a sexual nature.
This is a really good post. It would not surprise me if there was some truth to all of this, but this already has the whole "mob" feel to it. I am not going to be joining this mob, even if everyone else does, and even if it is uniting against someone who I politically regard as a bad guy, such as Andrew Cuomo.
We all saw the "MeToo" hysteria from a few years back. Aside from Harvey Weinstein, which of those people were ever held accountable? And how many of those people were falsely accused? This media led mob hysteria, based on an incendiary report from a state AG who does not inspire confidence, is already looking and feeling like another chapter of that mess.

Do that to your coworker and see how fast you get slapped.
People need to turn their brains on when evaluating matters such as these. If THIS is one of the big revelations, then this is all a big overreaction. I am not saying this report is wrong, or that there is not more, or that he should not be investigated and held accountable by law enforcement authorities. But we need to not join the mob mentality here. To support the political destruction of this man based on the sort of observation you made above would be more of a negative reflection on the people joining that mob, and prematurely and emotionally supporting that end that it would be of him.
But, here’s what really ticks me off about this, it was a very poorly kept secret that everyone just pretended wasn’t happening. The media knew at least some of this was going on while they were lionizing him in the national news. Fox reported this months before the rest of the media caught up.
The heads of some of those senior staffers that were sheltering him need to roll also.
Revolting.
One person's common knowledge is another person's urban rumor.
DD lives in NY and has always thought he was a jerk. That was common knowledge. too.
Fox must have had somebody willing to confirm their reporting or they were willing to risk the lawsuit.
Disgusting pig. I wonder how his brother will spin this on the communist news network. Oh wait, none of the leftist news networks will carry the story since he's one of them.
That was the first thing I thought about.
The second thing I thought about is that is that it's likely this won't be kept from his mother (who turns 90 in about six weeks), and he'll rightfully be going through that shame.
The third thing I thought about was will his long term (2005-2019) former girlfriend, chef Sandra Lee, have any public comment.
Well. Since these are Dems running the investigation, not sure that's entirely true.
The media will turn on him, disassociate him with democrats and try to avoid any political ideology discussion around him. will try to paint him as a republican.
If the allegations are true, he definitely overstepped his bounds, way overstepped. There would be no mistaking whatsoever that he sexually harassed these women.
Pretty much every Democrat does what he did so my only guess is that they decided to take him out to replace him with someone more racist and Far Left.
