© Provided by Washington Examiner New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo is denying allegations from a sixth woman who reportedly accused him of sexual misconduct.
"As I said yesterday, I have never done anything like this," Cuomo said of the new allegations against him in a statement to the Albany Times Union. "The details of this report are gut-wrenching. I am not going to speak to the specifics of this or any other allegation given the ongoing review, but I am confident in the result of the attorney general's report."
The woman, who was a member of the Executive Chamber staff, alleged Cuomo touched her inappropriately late last year at the governor's mansion, the Times Union first reported on Tuesday. The paper published further details about the alleged misconduct on Wednesday.

The woman, who has not been publicly identified, claimed that she and Cuomo were alone on the second floor of the governor's private residence when he stuck his hand under her blouse and fondled her, the newspaper reported, citing a source not authorized to speak publicly about the matter. The woman, who is reportedly much younger than Cuomo, claims there were other incidents involving him touching her.
Over the weekend, Cuomo was adamant that he would not resign because of the multiple allegations of sexual misconduct brought against him.
"People are free to make allegations, but then you also have a process, due process, where people get the facts, and they make a determination," Cuomo said. "I was the attorney general of New York for four years. I got all sorts of allegations against politicians."
