Lindsey Boylan, a former aide in the New York governor’s office, detailed how Gov. Andrew Cuomo allegedly exploited their professional relationship as an opportunity to sexually harass her. “I’m compelled to tell my story because no woman should feel forced to hide their experiences of workplace intimidation, harassment and humiliation — not by the Governor or anyone else,” Boylan wrote. “I expect the Governor and his top aides will attempt to further disparage me, just as they’ve done with Assemblymember Kim.
