“As a second young woman comes forward with sexual harassment allegations against Gov. Cuomo, the need for a formal, independent investigation is clear. The claims by both Lindsey Boylan and Charlotte Bennett are disturbing and credible. As a former member of the Assembly Committee on Ethics and Guidance, I know firsthand that these types of accusations would warrant an investigation and thorough review. Sexual harassment of any kind cannot

and should not be tolerated and any sort of allegations against the governor should be held to these same standards.

“I commend Ms. Boylan and Ms. Bennett for making the brave decision to come forward with their stories and believe that an investigation must begin immediately.”
