11 August 2021: Criminal Investigations of Cuomo Sexual Harassment To Continue

Sheriff: Cuomo resignation doesn't end groping investigation

This report indicates the Albany County sheriff's criminal investigation of the complaint filed by Brittany Commisso will continue.

Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo’s decision to resign would not impact the criminal investigation into executive assistant Brittany Commisso's allegation Cuomo groped her at the Executive Mansion last year, Albany County Sheriff Craig Apple said Tuesday afternoon.

“It was never about his office although I appreciate him putting the people of New York first and stepping aside,” Apple said.

Apple said he met with District Attorney David Soares on the investigation earlier in the day and expected they would be meeting almost daily in the coming weeks.

Andrew M. Cuomo's resignation as New York Governor will take effect in 13 days.
