Gregg Jarrett: As Serial Sexual Predators Go, Andrew Cuomo Is ‘Monstrous’

EXCERPT:

JARRETT: "As serial sexual predators go, Andrew Cuomo is monstrous. That is the inexorable conclusion when you read this 165-page report that is meticulous in its evidence and it detail. The AG said it was overwhelming, persuasive and compelling and that the victims were credible and very well corroborated. And it’s true, when you read this report. But Letitia James, the AG, looked exclusively at federal and state law in the context of civil liability. Sexual harassment, retaliation and hostile work environment. That means that these victims can now sue Andrew Cuomo and the state of New York in lawsuits for money damages. Primary jurisdiction for crimes rests with the elected district attorney in Albany County, David Soares, who announced today that he has formally asked the AG to provide all of the documentation and evidence and witness interviews that she collected over four long months. What crimes? Well, first of all, forcible touching. Penal code Section 130.52 , which is fondling and groping someone against their will. Another one would be assault and battery. When you lift a woman’s blouse without consent, against her will, that could constitute assault and battery. And finally, the crime of harassment, placing a woman, or a man for that matter, in fear and trepidation of further aggression. And it’s not just Cuomo that is in jeopardy both civilly and criminally. If his senior staff, the report says this, were essentially aiding and abetting him, enabling his behavior and protecting it by covering it up, they could also be in jeopardy."
