He shoulda known better!<\/p>\n

All employers in New York state are required to instruct their workers about sexual harassment under a law signed by Gov. Andrew Cuomo \u2014 but he doesn\u2019t seem to have learned much from it.<\/p>\n

Two “case studies” from the October 2019 edition of the state\u2019s online Sexual Harassment Prevention Model Training offer examples of inappropriate behavior that are strikingly similar to some of the allegations against the governor.<\/p>\n

One \u2014 called “The Boss with a Bad Attitude” \u2014 involves a male supervisor named Paul who tells a female subordinate named Sharon that “he is glad she joined the staff because\u2026she is \u2018easy on the eyes.'”<\/p>\n

WHY ANDREW CUOMO IS FALLING ON ALL FRONTS<\/strong><\/p>\n

Regarding those remarks, the training materials say, “It does not matter that Paul supposedly paid Sharon a \u2018compliment.\u2019 The discussion is still highly offensive to Sharon, as it would be to most reasonable persons in her situation.”<\/p>\n

In Cuomo\u2019s case, former aide Lindsey Boylan, 36, has said that Cuomo sexually harassed her “about my looks,” adding, “This was the way for years.”<\/p>\n

Another case study is titled, “Too Close for Comfort,” and involves a female boss named Sarah who touches the hand or shoulder of a subordinate named Keisha while discussing Keisha\u2019s reports with her.<\/p>\n

Eventually, Sarah “traps” Keisha in her office, then “runs her hand over Keisha\u2019s breast” when Keisha leaves after a meeting.<\/p>\n

“Any type of sexual touching is very serious and Keisha should immediately report it without waiting for it to be repeated,” the training materials say.<\/p>\n

“Sarah can expect to receive formal discipline, including possible firing.”<\/p>\n

In Cuomo\u2019s case, he\u2019s accused of putting his hand on the exposed back of Anna Ruch, 33, grabbing her face and kissing her without consent after officiating at a Manhattan wedding in 2019.<\/p>\n

Boylan, now a Democratic candidate for Manhattan borough president, has also accused Cuomo of kissing her without consent in his Manhattan office after a meeting there in 2018.<\/p>\n

LIVE UPDATES: CUOMO CRITICS PUSH BACK AFTER GOV APOLOGIZES AT PRESS CONFERENCE BUT SAYS HE WON’T RESIGN<\/strong><\/p>\n

During a Wednesday news conference that marked his first public appearance since the scandal erupted last week, Cuomo was asked if he\u2019d undergone the state\u2019s mandatory training.<\/p>\n

“Short answer is, yes,” he said, without elaborating.<\/p>\n

Cuomo also claimed, “I never knew at the time that I was making anyone feel uncomfortable.”<\/p>\n

“And if I ever did make people feel uncomfortable, which I now understand that I have, I apologize,” he added.<\/p>\n

Following Cuomo\u2019s remarks, Boylan tweeted, “How can New Yorkers trust you @NYGovCuomo to lead our state if you \u2018don\u2019t know\u2019 when you\u2019ve been inappropriate with your own staff?”<\/p>\n

Ruch didn\u2019t immediately return a request for comment but a lawyer for a third accuser, Charlotte Bennett, 25, lawyer called Cuomo\u2019s remarks “full of falsehoods and inaccurate information.”<\/p>\n

The annual training mandate took effect in October 2018 as part of the “Women\u2019s Opportunity Agenda” that Cuomo championed that year.<\/p>\n

If employers don\u2019t use the state\u2019s model program, the minimum requirements include ensuring that the training is interactive, provides an explanation of sexual harassment that\u2019s consistent with state guidance and offers examples of prohibited conduct.<\/p>\n
