The governors acting counsel, Beth Garvey, confirmed the conversation, saying that she had initiated the call and reported the allegations, after a lawyer for the female aide told the governors office that the aide did not want to file a report.
As a matter of state policy, when allegations of physical contact are made, the agency informs the complainant that they should contact their local police department, Ms. Garvey said in a statement. If they decline, the agency has an obligation to reach out themselves and inform the department of the allegation.
In this case, the person is represented by counsel and when counsel confirmed the client did not want to make a report, the state notified the police department and gave them the attorneys information, Ms. Garvey added.

A female supervisor in the office became aware of the aides allegation on March 3 when Mr. Cuomo, following multiple allegations of sexual harassment and inappropriate behavior, gave a televised apology in which he denied touching anyone inappropriately. The newspaper reported that the supervisor noticed the aide become emotional during the governors address and that the aide subsequently told the supervisor about her encounter with the governor.
