Cuomo kiss
NEW YORK (77WABC) – According to The New York Times, another woman has come forward alleging unwanted sexual advances made by Governor Cuomo.
The latest accuser, Anna Ruch, now makes three women who allege the governor acted in an inappropriate and sexual manner towards them.
Ruch told The New York Times that she had never met Cuomo before encountering him at a crowded New York City wedding reception in September 2019.
The article states:
“The governor was working the room after toasting the newlyweds, and when he came upon Ms. Ruch, now 33, she thanked him for his kind words about her friends. But what happened next instantly unsettled her: Mr. Cuomo put his hand on Ms. Ruch’s bare lower back, she said in an interview on Monday.
When she removed his hand with her own, Ms. Ruch recalled, the governor remarked that she seemed “aggressive” and placed his hands on her cheeks. He asked if he could kiss her, loudly enough for a friend standing nearby to hear. Ms. Ruch was bewildered by the entreaty, she said, and pulled away as the governor drew closer.
“I was so confused and shocked and embarrassed,” said Ms. Ruch, whose recollection was corroborated by the friend, contemporaneous text messages and photographs from the event. “I turned my head away and didn’t have words in that moment.”
