The Albany County Sheriff’s Office has confirmed to the Business Journal that a criminal complaint has been filed against Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo.
An individual on the staff of Sheriff Craig Apple told the Business Journal this morning that an investigation has started and that the sheriff expects to be holding a news conference later today, the scheduling of which has not been determined. It is unknown at this time the extent to which the details of the case would be discussed at the news conference.
It is believed that the complaint came from an individual referred to in the report released on Tuesday by Attorney General Letitia James that concluded Cuomo engaged in sexual harassment of 11 women and ran his office as a toxic workplace while violating state and federal laws. There is speculation that the individual filing the complaint had worked in Cuomo’s office and may be the person identified in the report as Executive Assistant #1.
The Business Journal’s source in the sheriff’s office declined to offer details of what’s written in the complaint or the investigative process being used. However, as in many criminal investigations, it is conceivable that at some point the subject of the investigation could be arrested, should there be sufficient justification for such a move.
This story is developing and the Business Journal will provide updates as warranted.
