Let me say, up front, that I DO NOT like Cuomo.  But once again, I read the allegations against him and it makes me wonder.  Was the "touching" akin to grabbing at a woman's breast or her private parts, or was this just rubbing her shoulder?  Show me the work place where there isn't an amount of innocent flirting or some kind of sexual innuendo  in terms of jokes or quips.  

These things were so common when I was a young woman coming up in the workplace.  And nobody thought anything of it.  I was sexually harassed by two of my bosses along the way, and believe me, I knew it and it made me very uncomfortable.  It was a different thing entirely.  

When I see these kinds of reports, I think they lack context as to what was considered normal or acceptable at the time they occured.  I think it would be very bad for women if men became afraid to work with women for fear they woud be accuse of sexual harassment.  Women know when it crosses the line.

At one point, I knew a man that was removed from his job for the claims of 3 women who claimed he inappropriately touched himself in meetings.  He was pretty well crusified career-wise and reputation-wise.  They did an investigaion and finally one of the women admitted that the three of them had cooked this thing up - because one of the women was sure if he was removed, her husband would be promoted into the job.  Yes, it all came out, but by that time the damage had been done.  

So while I dislike Cuomo and would like to see him out of office, when I hear claims of sexual harassment, I confess I am skeptical, particularly when it relates to politics and the ME Too movement.
