Lindsey Boylan, the first woman to publicly accuse New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo of sexual harassment, plans to sue him and his team for trying to smear her name, her lawyer has told The New York Times.
In December, Boylan, who worked as an aide to Cuomo between 2015 and 2018, accused the governor of kissing her without her consent. Cuomo denies the allegation.
On Wednesday, Boylan's lawyer said they would be suing Cuomo and his close advisors following the release on Tuesday of a report from the New York Attorney General which found that Cuomo's office worked to discredit Boylan after she went public.
"Because Lindsey was first, the governor needed to send a message," Boylan's lawyer, Jill Basinger, told The Times. "He needed to send a message to every other survivor out there that this is what happens when you go against the machine of the governor's office."
Cuomo's office did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
According to the Attorney General's report, Cuomo's staff "engaged in a series of responsive actions that were intended to discredit and disparage Ms. Boylan."
In one case, Melissa DeRosa, Cuomo's top aide, asked Alphonso David, a lawyer who used to work for the governor, to provide her with Boylan's "full file," the report said.

Dear Lord — Please make sure Ms. Boylan and her legal team name that @sshole Chris Cuomo as a co-defendant.
Andrew Cuomo is scum and should be out of office, but I hope he doesn’t resign and forces the NY Senate who is led by Democrats to go thru the procedures to impeach him...
Resigning from office is the easy way out for Democrats, they don’t have to take a hard stance, put on a trail, present evidence, etc.....
Basically if Cuomo resigns, everything is sort of swept under the rug, Cuomo would be gone and everything would be quickly forgotten...
If Cuomo forces an impeachment, then this entire scandal will drag out over time, all the dirty laundy can come out and we’ll see how serious Democrats are about kicking out one of their own
Eureka. They were hired to control the bimbo eruptions. 😀👍🤗
Might as well go civil....’cause I’m afraid ain’t nothing gonna happen criminally. That’s why he’s so defiantly refusing to resign.
He’s letting the DNC is shove him under the bus on this (finally, after so long) so he can slide on the nursing home story
They offered him a deal he couldn’t refuse.
I wouldn’t bet a plugged nickel on the civil side either. It’s all rigged in favor of the moneyed and powerful.
Agreed. Coulda got a little justice in Fla or texss...maybe a few other states
but bite the big Apple? Don’t mind the maggots.
