© Provided by Washington Examiner A sixth woman reportedly accused New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo of sexual misconduct, a new report revealed.
The woman alleged the governor touched her inappropriately late last year at the governor's mansion where she had been asked to work, according to a Tuesday report from the Albany Times Union. The outlet declined to identify the woman, citing their inability to reach her for comment.
While the report did not go into further detail about the alleged incident, it revealed the woman was a member of the Executive Chamber staff.

The complaint was reported to the governor's counsel by other chamber employees and was relayed by Cuomo's office to New York state Attorney General Letitia James's office.
"All allegations that we learn of directly or indirectly are going promptly to the investigators appointed by the attorney general," Beth Garvey, the governor's acting counsel, told the outlet.
The Washington Examiner reached out to Cuomo's office for comment on the new purported accusation but did not immediately hear back.
On Sunday, the governor was adamant that he would not resign over the multiple allegations brought against him.
"At work sometimes I think I am being playful and make jokes that I think are funny," Cuomo said. "I acknowledge some of the things I have said have been misinterpreted as an unwanted flirtation. To the extent anyone felt that way, I am truly sorry about that."
He added that he "never inappropriately touched anybody and [he] never propositioned anybody, and [he] never intended to make anyone feel uncomfortable."
