The Governor of New York has Extended his Resignation in Light of the Sexual Harassment Findings Against Him

Andrew Cuomo, the governor of New York, has formally stepped down after after an investigation revealed several allegations of sexual harassment. Cuomo sexually assaulted 11 women, including state employees, according to a 168-page report published by the New York Attorney General's Office. According to reports, the governor participated in non-consensual touching and made inappropriate remarks.

Further to a five-month independent inquiry that included interviews with 179 persons and an examination of 74,000 documents, it was found that Governor Cuomo had committed and indulged in acts of sexual harassment. 

Cuomo has been the governor of New York since 2011, and his resignation will take effect in 14 days. Cuomo is still under criminal investigation for sexual harassment, and New York Democrats have initiated steps to impeach him. In response to the study, statements have been made emphasizing the Governor's conduct as inappropriate and not fit for a state office.
