Sixth Woman Accuses Cuomo Of Sexual Harassment: Report

NEW YORK CITY — A sexual harassment scandal facing Gov. Andrew Cuomo grew as a sixth woman came forward against him, according to a report.

The unidentified woman — the sixth to accuse Cuomo of sexual harassment — said the governor inappropriately touched her late last year at the governor's mansion, the Times Union first reported.

Cuomo, on a Tuesday conference call with reporters, said he was unaware of the new accusation.

"First, I’m not aware of any other claim," he said, according to the Times Union. "As I said last week, this is very simple, I never touched anyone inappropriately … no one ever told me at the time that I made them feel uncomfortable. Obviously, there are people who said after the fact that I made them uncomfortable."

The new accusation comes amid growing calls for Cuomo to resign, including from state Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins. So far, Cuomo has resisted and called for people to wait for the results of a probe by state Attorney General Letitia James.

Mayor Bill de Blasio, a long-time political foe of Cuomo's, hasn't explicitly called for the governor's resignation. But he also made clear Tuesday he doesn't see how Cuomo can effectively govern.

"There are too many destabilizing things happening right now with the Governor and his administration in terms of the ability to get the work of the State done, and I think more information is going to keep coming out," he said. "So, of course, we need the full facts from the attorney general's investigation, absolutely. But I don't think there's any contradiction between the Attorney General fully pursuing the facts as quickly as possible and recognizing the fact that there's a dysfunctional reality in Albany that is making it harder and harder for government to do its work."

When asked if he found Cuomo's denials credible, de Blasio had a one-word answer: "No."
