Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is being charged with a misdemeanor in what a state spokesperson is calling a "sex crime case." This follows a criminal probe that stemmed from a number of women who accuse the former Democratic governor of inappropriate sexual conduct. Reports indicate the charge relates to allegations of "forcible touching" and an arrest warrant is being issued by the Albany County Sheriff's Office. Cuomo resigned in August as state lawmakers were preparing impeachment proceedings.
The charge accuses Cuomo of forcibly touching a woman whose name will reportedly be redacted. More information is expected to come out this afternoon from Albany Criminal Court. Meanwhile, the Albany District Attorney's Office says it is still investigating and this charge isn't related to that.
