New York state has agreed to pay nearly $500,000 to settle a sexual harassment case against former Governor Andrew Cuomo. The settlement, announced on July 18, 2025, resolves claims made by Brittany Commisso, who worked as an aide in the governor's office. Commisso had filed a criminal complaint in 2021 alleging that Cuomo groped her breast under her blouse and engaged in other inappropriate physical contact.
