Albany sheriff: Cuomo could face misdemeanor in groping case
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo could face misdemeanor charges if investigators substantiate a criminal complaint accusing the governor of groping an aide last year, the Albany County sheriff said Saturday.
Sheriff Craig Apple promised a “very comprehensive” investigation in partnership the Albany County district attorney’s office but said it would be premature to commit to a timeline or say whether Cuomo himself will be questioned.
“We have a lot of fact-finding to do. We have a lot of interviews to do,” Apple told reporters. “I’m not going to rush it because of who he is. And I’m not going to delay it because of who he is.”
