CALLS on Gov. Cuomo to resign have been mounting in the wake of sexual harassment allegations against him.
It comes as a sixth alleged victim has come forward with sexual harassment claims against Cuomo and said he “touched her inappropriately.”
Who is Karen Hinton?
Gov. Cuomo’s former press aide of Gov.Cuomo, Karen Hinton, 62, has accused Cuomo of forcibly hugging her at an event 21 years ago.
Hinton is the fifth woman who has accused him of sexual harassment.
What has she accused Andrew Cuomo of?
According to the Washington Post, Hinton accused the governor of “summoning” her to his “dimly-lit” hotel room and hugged her after a work event about 21 years ago.
She said that at the time she was working as a consultant for the US Department of Housing and Urban Development, which was run by Cuomo.
Her report states she tried to resist Cuomo but he embraced her and pulled her close to his body.
Cuomo‘s representative Jack Stern issued a statement to The Sun on the Director of Communications for the Governor’s behalf, regarding Hinton’s claims.
Peter Ajemian said in the statement: “This did not happen.
“Karen Hinton is a known antagonist of the Governor’s who is attempting to take advantage of this moment to score cheap points with made up allegations from 21 years ago.
“All women have the right to come forward and tell their story — however, it’s also the responsibility of the press to consider self-motivation. This is reckless.
“The people of this state elected the Governor to represent them four times during the last 14 years and they know he works day and night for them,” added Azzopardi.

“There is no secret these are tough jobs, and the work is demanding, but we have a top tier team with many employees who have been here for years, and many others who have left and returned.
“The Governor is direct with employees if their work is sub-par because the people of New York deserve nothing short of excellence. ”
Her claim comes after four more women came forward with sexual harassment allegations against Cuomo.
