The New York Post reports the suit also names the New York State Police as a defendant.
The woman claims DeRosa protected Cuomo, who has denied the allegations.
According to the lawsuit– ” On September 23, 2019, Trooper 1, who was serving as one of Cuomo’s bodyguards at the time, accompanied him to an event at Belmont racetrack, where “she felt violated as the Governor intentionally touched her in intimate locations between her breasts and vagina.”
“As Trooper 1 went ahead of the Governor to hold a door open for him, the Governor 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,” added the suit.
