The New York State trooper who claims Andrew Cuomo groped her filed a lawsuit against him and his aide Thursday saying the former governor “violated” her and his aide helped cover it up.
As previously reported by Human Events News, the state trooper claimed Cuomo “ran the palm of his left hand across her stomach” and “pushed his hand back to her right hip where she kept her gun” at an event at Belmont racetrack.
“Trooper 1,” as named in the suit, is seeking damages from Cuomo and Melissa DeRosa, as well as a declaratory judgment that they both “violated federal, state, and civil laws,” the New York Post reports.
She claims DeRosa played an active role in protecting Cuomo.
Specifically, the trooper claims Cuomo tried to kiss her, steered conversations towards sex, and made comments on her appearance, once asking “why don’t you wear a dress?”
Additionally, he once ran “his finger down the center of my back of my spine, basically from the top of my neck, basically midway down with his pointer finger and just said, ‘Hey, you’,” according to the complaint.
Cuomo also told the trooper he needs to date someone who “can handle pain,” she claimed.
