Albany County Sheriff Craig Apple Sr. spoke Friday about the misdemeanour sex offence laid against former New York governor Andrew Cuomo a day earlier.
The criminal complaint, which was first reported on by a local news outlet, said Cuomo had engaged in the misdemeanour offence of "forcible touching" on Dec. 7, 2020, at the governor's executive mansion by placing "his hand under the blouse shirt of the victim... and onto her intimate body part." The complaint goes on to say that Cuomo groped the woman's breast "for purposes of degrading and gratifying his sexual desires." The name of the alleged victim has not been released.
During the briefing, Apple spoke about the timeline that led to the charge being laid, as well as more details on how investigators had determined the date the incident happened.
He also addressed criticism by Cuomo's lawyer, Rita Glavin, who questioned Apple's integrity said his motives were "patently improper." He balked at the idea, saying he was doing his job.
