GOSHEN – Orange County’s two top law enforcement officials have a message for sheriff’s office employees – if anyone is involved in conduct the likes of Governor Cuomo, he or she would be terminated.
Sheriff Carl DuBois and Undersheriff Kenneth Jones have called on the governor to “recognize his conduct and accept his professional responsibility to resign his office of governor immediately to save the New York State Assembly and Senate the unnecessary and costly process of impeachment that further falls on the residents of New York State.”
The top cops said that “no state, county or local government employee who engaged in such conduct as Governor Andrew Cuomo did wo0uld retain their employment.”
They said Cuomo should have known that his conduct “was contrary to training on sexual harassment that he and every other public employee has been subject to.”
DuBois and Jones also noted that some of the event in the attorney general’s report “constitute criminal conduct by the governor.” They said that every police agency and prosecutor in a geographical area where the crimes allegedly took place “should immediately engage in a criminal investigation to determine whether arrest and prosecution are appropriate.”
The attorney general’s investigation included testimony from 11 women who claimed to have been victims of Cuomo’s behavior, which is said to have including his putting his hand under one woman’s blouse, touching another woman’s breast over her shirt, as well as unwanted kisses, hugs and pats on the behind.
