Former aide to Andrew Cuomo sues over alleged sexual harassment

Charlotte Bennett's lawsuit is at least the second to be filed by one of the women who accused the former New York governor of misconduct

A onetime aide to former New York governor Andrew Cuomo sued him Wednesday, saying he sexually harassed her and then smeared her reputation after she became the second woman to publicly accuse him of misconduct.

Charlotte Bennett's lawsuit, filed in a federal court in New York City, repeats many of the allegations she has talked about publicly in the year and a half since she first began telling her story.
