Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced his resignation on Tuesday under threat of impeachment following the release of a scathing attorney general report in which investigators concluded that he sexually harassed several women in violation of state and federal law.
The resignation of Mr. Cuomo, a three-term Democrat, came a week after a report from the New York State attorney general concluded that the governor sexually harassed nearly a dozen women, including current and former government workers, by engaging in unwanted touching and making inappropriate comments. The 165-page report also found that Mr. Cuomo and his aides unlawfully retaliated against at least one of the women for making her complaints public and fostered a toxic work environment.

Edited to add: from Mike the Musicologist, “New York has successfully flattened the perv.”
