New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who’s facing calls for his resignation after mounting sexual harassment claims, is obsessed with “his hand size”—and “what the large size of his hands” meant to staff, one of his accusers told investigators Monday, according to her lawyer. Charlotte Bennett, a former Cuomo aide, spent four hours talking to two attorneys hired by the state Attorney General’s office to investigate allegations of sexual misconduct by the Democratic lawmaker, lawyer Debra Katz revealed. According to Katz, Bennett detailed her allegations against Cuomo and provided more than 120 pages of information to corroborate her claims.
Bennett “also provided detailed information about the sexually hostile work environment the Governor fostered in both his Manhattan and Albany offices and his deliberate effort to create rivalries and tension among female staffers on whom he bestowed attention,” Katz said in a statement, adding, “One piece of new information that came to light today was the Governor’s preoccupation with his hand size and what the large size of his hands indicated to Charlotte and other members of his staff.”
