The sexual harassment allegation against Gov. Andrew Cuomo, explained

“Yes, @NYGovCuomo sexually harassed me for years. Many saw it, and watched.”

So said Lindsey Boylan, a candidate for Manhattan borough president and former adviser to New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, in a tweet thread Sunday morning.

Boylan, who appears to have worked for the governor’s office from 2015 to 2018, provided few specifics in the thread and stated that she has “no interest in talking to journalists” (Boylan also has not responded to Vox’s request for comment). But she did say, “I could never anticipate what to expect: would I be grilled on my work (which was very good) or harassed about my looks. Or would it be both in the same conversation?”

The governor’s office has denied the allegation. “There is simply no truth to these claims,” Caitlin Girouard, the governor’s press secretary, said in an email to Vox on Monday.
