Andrew Cuomo will not face charges relating to two women who accused him of forcibly kissing them

Two women, a state trooper whose name has not been released and Susan Iannucci, a public-school office manager from White Plains, reportedly accused Cuomo of forcibly kissing them on the cheeks. And while the district attorney Miriam E.
“In both instances, my office has determined that, although the allegations and witnesses were credible, and the conduct concerning, we cannot pursue criminal charges due to the statutory requirements of the criminal laws of New York,” Rocah said in a statement. Iannucci’s lawyer, Gloria Allred, responded to the statement, saying that they were “gratified” that the district attorney “found her allegation and Susan to be credible.
This decision comes less than a week after a district attorney in Nassau County also declined to press charges against Cuomo regarding an allegation from a state trooper — that same state trooper is one of the women involved in the Westchester County allegations. Per the New York Times, the Nassau County DA Joyce Smith issued a statement similar to Rocah’s, calling the allegation “credible” and noting that Cuomo’s alleged behavior was “deeply troubling, but not criminal.
Despite resigning as governor of New York in disgrace after multiple allegations of sexual harassment and misconduct came to light, Cuomo has denied all instances of sexual harassment. He has yet to comment on these new developments. Meanwhile, Cuomo is facing a slew of other potential charges. In October, the former governor was criminally charged in Albany City Criminal Court for allegedly reaching under a staffer’s shirt and groping her. His attorney, Rita Glavin, denied the claims, and district attorney David Soares has since raised potential issues with the charges, but those are still being worked out.
