According to the Albany Times Union, the woman has not filed a formal complaint with the governor’s office.

During a Wednesday, March 3 news briefing in which Cuomo said he never touched anyone inappropriately, the staffer reportedly became upset and a female supervisor came to her aid, and the staffer later told her about the alleged incident.

The woman became the sixth to accuse Cuomo of inappropriate behavior or sexual harassment.

In response to the latest claim, Cuomo spoke out and vehemently denied any wrongdoing, again reiterating that he will wait for New York Attorney General Letitia James’ report as she investigates the sexual harassment allegations.

“As I said yesterday, I have never done anything like this," Cuomo said in a statement. “The details of this report are gut-wrenching.”

"I am not going to speak to the specifics of this or any other allegation given the ongoing review, but I am confident in the result of the Attorney General's report.”
