While Gov. Andrew Cuomo faces possible impeachment, one of his accusers, and his former lieutenant governor, are speaking out about the attorney general's report.
Ana Liss is one of the 11 women that the AG's report concluded that her accusations of sexual harassment against Gov. Cuomo were credible.
"I feel that there is a sense of vindication for the women that spoke out now that an independent third party investigation has concluded," Liss said.
Liss says Cuomo repeatedly kissed and touched her at the office and at work parties. She also detailed instances of Cuomo repeatedly berating men in his office and acting flirtatious with women.
"I would commend all the women that spoke up," she said. "It took a lot of bravery, a lot of courage coming up against a really powerful force in the state of New York and all of us paid a professional and personal price for making that decision."
Rochester Chamber of Commerce President Bob Duffy, who was lieutenant governor during Cuomo's first term, claims he was unaware of the governor's behavior.
"I've been gone seven years, but the behaviors outlined in the report, I did not see, I did not hear of, nobody mentioned them to," Duffy said. "Ana Liss is the only woman mentioned that I knew. I think she was there my last year in an internship. Had I seen that, I would have reported it immediately. The current lieutenant governor has said she was never asked a question. I was never asked a question by any interviewers, but happy to answer any questions I saw."
Although Duffy says does not see a path forward for the governor due to actions described in the report that he calls "indefensible," he would not join in the calls for his resignation.
"I don't support what I've heard. I don't condone in anyway what I heard. It's not just not my role to call for resignation at all," Duffy said. "I believe in the process and I think that there are two choices coming up: the governor will have to choose to resign or go to an impeachment trial and you know that's his call."
Liss meanwhile is moving forward, grateful for all of the support she says she has received.
"If we want more young women in particular to choose careers in public service we need to make sure that we understand how important it is deal with sexual harassment in the work place head on and give victims a space to come forward and believe victims," Liss added.
