Release: Sexual Harassment Working Group says Cuomo is delusional for saying he didn't commit sexual harassment if he does not think he meant to sexually harass women.
NYSNYS News
Text of May 13, 2021 press release.

After Andrew Cuomo responded to reporters' questions about the ongoing investigation into his conduct, the Sexual Harassment Working Group released the following statement:

"Today Andrew Cuomo's self-delusion reached impressive new heights and our response is very simple: just because you believe you can’t make anyone “feel” harassed by your actions, doesn’t make it legally true. If the Governor tried that before a judge he’d get laughed out of court. We accept his original confirmation of Charlotte Bennett’s account of him breaking the New York Human Rights Law he signed, by creating a hostile work environment and grooming her for sex.

We eagerly await the Attorney General’s investigation and look forward to the Governor being held accountable for his actions: not anyone’s feelings.

We are not going away and Cuomo will not silence victims."
