A New York State Trooper who served on former Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s personal security detail sued the disgraced politician Thursday for sexual harassment.
The woman, who filed the suit in Brooklyn Federal Court anonymously as “Trooper 1,” claimed that the governor “violated” her numerous times after she was transferred to the elite Protective Service Unit in January 2018.
In one instance on Sept. 23, 2019, when she accompanied the former governor to an event at Belmont Racetrack, he “placed the palm of his hand on her belly button and slid it across her waist to her right hip, where her gun was holstered,” the suit says.
