"He Towered Over Me": 10th Woman Accuses New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo of Sexual Misconduct
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here in New York, a 10th woman has accused Governor Andrew Cuomo of
sexual misconduct. Sherry Vill says Cuomo made unwanted physical
advances toward her while the two interacted in 2017. Vill met Cuomo
while he toured her neighborhood in Rochester after a flood. Vill says
Cuomo approached her at her home, took her hand and pulled her to him.
Cuomo then leaned down over her and kissed both her cheeks. Vill
described their interaction as "overtly sexual" and disrespectful to her
husband and son, who were both present. Vill shared her experience
during a virtual press conference yesterday.

Sherry Vill: "I felt he was acting in a highly flirtatious and
inappropriate manner, especially in front of my family and neighbors. He
is almost six feet tall. I'm approximately five feet tall. He towered
over me. There was nothing I could do."
