A second woman has accused Gov. Andrew Cuomo of sexual harassment, according to a new report.
Charlotte Bennett, a 25-year-old former aide to Cuomo, told The New York Times that the governor asked her inappropriate personal questions, told her he was open to relationships with women in their 20s, and left her feeling that he "Wanted to sleep with me."
Cuomo told her he was lonely since his relationship celebrity chef Sandra Lee, his girlfriend of 14 years, ended in 2019.
The revelations come after another former staffer, Lindsey Boylan, accused Cuomo of sexual harassment, including a claim that he planted an unwanted kiss on her in his office.
Cuomo defended himself in a statement released Saturday night.
Beth Garvey, special counsel and senior adviser to Cuomo said in a statement that Cuomo "Has requested an independent review and all staff will cooperate in that endeavor. Former Federal Judge Barbara Jones will lead the review."
Rep. Elise Stefanik, who has called for Cuomo to resign over the Boylan allegations, said Saturday evening that "Gov. Cuomo is a criminal sexual predator and he must immediately resign."
