Ana Liss, who is now 35 years old, told the Wall Street Journal that when she worked in Cuomo’s executive chambers between 2013 and 2015, Cuomo asked her if she had a boyfriend, called her sweetheart, touched her lower back, and kissed her hand.
The fifth woman, Karen Hinton, who worked as a press secretary at HUD under Cuomo, told the Washington Post she was summoned to a dimly lit hotel room in 2000 after a work event, where Cuomo pulled her in for a long, uncomfortable embrace.
The Washington Post said that Hinton told a reporter about the incident on February 14th, before Boylan and Bennett came forward, but was not ready to discuss the matter publicly. She described the 2000 embrace from the governor as “too long, too tight, too intimate.”
“I thought at that moment it could lead to a kiss, it could lead to other things, so I just pull away again, and I leave,” she recounted to the Post.
