30 July 2021: Cuomo Victim Calls for Legal Sanctions Against Cuomo Lawyer Judith Mogul

Sex-harass accuser says lawyer who quit on Gov. Cuomo’s team should be ‘disbarred’

Counsel to the Governor Judy Mogul's resignation from the Cuomo administration was announced on 28 July 2021. Late that day, Lindsey Boylan, the first woman to come forward with allegations that Andrew M. Cuomo sexually harassed her called for Judith Mogul to be disbarred and prevented from ever practicing law again.

One of Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s sexual-harassment accusers said his outgoing lawyer should be “disbarred” over her key role in the scandal that’s under investigation by the Attorney General’s Office and part of an impeachment probe.

Former Cuomo aide Lindsey Boylan responded to special counsel to the governor Judith Mogul’s resignation in a tweet that trashed her efforts on Cuomo’s behalf and called for the revocation of her law license.

“Judith Mogul has left her work defending and enabling serial sexual harasser and abuser @NYGovCuomo,” Boylan wrote Wednesday night on Twitter.

“Next she should be disbarred.”

Earlier this year, Boylan, 37, published an online essay in which she accused Cuomo, 63, of repeatedly harassing her, leading to a flood of similar allegations from current and former aides.

The article doesn't reference it, but it is possible Mogul may have participated in the decision to leak Boylan's state personnel records to the media as a retaliation by Team Cuomo against her allegations. If so, that role would help explain Boylan's reaction to the announcement of Mogul's resignation.

Less speculatively, Mogul played a significant and direct role in the Cuomo administration's handling of Charlotte Bennett's allegations of sexual harassment by Andrew M. Cuomo, where she recently participated in a deposition about her role in that matter with the New York's attorney general's office's investigators.

Mogul's resignation came shortly after Andrew M. Cuomo was depositioned by the same investigators.
