A former state employee who accused Andrew Cuomo of sexual harassment clinched a $450,000 settlement — with taxpayers set to foot the massive bill as the former governor makes a comeback bid for New York City mayor.
Charlotte Bennett, who served as an assistant to Cuomo when he was governor, officially ended a long-running lawsuit Friday against the Empire State.
She is slated to receive $100,000 personally with another $350,000 earmarked for her lawyers and legal costs — all of which will be shelled out by the state.
The settlement caps a bruising battle with Cuomo, including a separate federal lawsuit that Bennett later dropped in which her lawyer contended the ex-gov’s attorneys had aggressively sought her gynecological records.
“Ms. Bennett is looking forward to moving on with her life,” Bennett’s attorney Debra Katz said in a statement Friday about the settlement.
The scandal-plagued Cuomo’s various bids to clear his name have been costly for New Yorkers.
As of March, taxpayers had shelled out nearly $60 million in legal costs to defend against various scandals that embroiled the Cuomo administration, according to a report by the state Comptroller’s Office.

Apparently she had the black syph? Democrats seem to be infectious.
The US Congress has a much better way to deal with such problems by maintaining a slush fund that is used to make members’ sexual harassment problems go away.
The Peoples Democratic Republic of New York should consider the same approach.
So many political people are criminals and creeps.
