WATCH: Sheriff Refuses to Be ‘Intimidated’ Over Criminal Probe of Andrew Cuomo

The sheriff of New York’s Albany County said Saturday he refused to be “intimidated” regarding the criminal probe of an allegation Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-NY) sexually harassed a former executive assistant.

The woman, identified as “Executive Assistant #1,” filed a criminal complaint against Cuomo at the sheriff’s office Thursday, alleging several incidents of sexual harassment, Newsweek reported.

“The former aide to the three-term governor was one of the 11 women included in a blistering 165-page report released by New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) on Tuesday, alleging numerous instances of sexual harassment by Cuomo,” the outlet said.

At a press conference Saturday regarding the complaint, Sheriff Craig Apple told reporters the investigation was in the early stages and he would not rush or delay the probe because the claims were against the governor.
