Four New York prosecutors are now poring over the investigative files compiled by the state attorney general documenting allegations that Gov. Andrew Cuomo groped or inappropriately touched three women.

The unidentified women are among 11 accs listed in the damning 168-page report Attorney General Letitia James released Tuesday, detailing sexual harassment allegations that spurred rampant calls for Cuomo’s resignation and a move toward impeachment.

By Wednesday morning, the district attorneys of Albany, Manhattan, Westchester and Nassau counties had requested the files. The Albany DA confirmed an ongoing investigation, while the others indicated they were considering launching probes.

One of the alleged targets of Cuomo’s sexual harassment is a top aide identified only as Executive Assistant No. 1; another is a state trooper assigned to the governor’s detail, referred to as Trooper No. 1; and the third is an employee of a state-d entity whose name was also kept secret.

A former prosecutor in the Manhattan DA’s office told THE CITY Tuesday that James’ report detailing several specific interactions between Cuomo the executive assistant and the trooper could be grounds for criminal misdemeanor charges of forcible touching or third-degree sexual abuse.

Forcible touching carries a potential sentence of up to one year in prison, while the sentence for sexual abuse three is up to three months.

Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. on Wednesday wrote to James’ deputy, Serena Longley, requesting information for the state trooper and the state entity employee, spelling out two incidents that allegedly occurred within his jurisdiction.

“There are two unnamed victims of potential sex crimes incidents that may have occurred in New York County,” Vance wrote. “In order for us to properly investigate these potential sex crimes it is necessary for us to speak with the two victims.”

Unwanted Touching Alleged

The two instances of potential harassment that may have took place in Vance’s territory are:

• An undated incident in which Cuomo allegedly ran his finger from the top of Trooper No. 1’s neck down her spine while in an elevator inside the Midtown building where the governor has an office.
• A September 2019 encounter in which Cuomo allegedly grabbed the backside of the employee of the state-d entity while they were posing for a photo during an unspecified event in Manhattan.

Another incident involving Trooper No. 1 was also of interest to Westchester DA Miriam Rocah. In her own letter to James sent Wednesday, Rocah noted: “Trooper #1 indicates that certain conduct of the governor occurred in Westchester County.”

In James’ report, the trooper describes an incident in the summer of 2019 in which Cuomo kissed her on the cheek in view of another trooper while she was on duty at his home in Mount Kisco.

And in a letter sent Wednesday to James, Nassau County DA Joyce Smith sought James investigative files regarding yet another interaction between Cuomo and Trooper No. 1.

 That stems from the attorney general’s report description of an incident in September 2019 at an event in Belmont, Long Island, where Cuomo allegedly ran his hand across Trooper No. 1’s stomach toward her hip —  a move apparently witnessed by others.

“We have initiated an investigation and I write to request records relating to this matter and any other allegations of sexual harassment by Governor Cuomo in Nassau County that your office reviewed,” Smith wrote.

These initial steps towards possible criminal probes follow an actual investigation confirmed Tuesday by Albany County DA David Soares. 

Soares wouldn’t describe the specifics because it is ongoing. But Anne Clark, one of the lawyers who led AG James’ investigation, on Tuesday stated that the Albany police were looking into specific allegations involving Executive Assistant No. 1.

In November, that aide told James’ investigators that Cuomo put his hand inside her blouse and cupped her breast while the two were alone inside his second floor office inside the Governor’s Mansion. She also stated that in December 2019, Cuomo groped her buttocks while the two were taking a selfie inside the mansion.

In revealing the conclusion of the investigation, James said Cuomo broke both federal and state laws, but said she did not refer the case to any prosecutors.
