Charlotte said the governor asked her many wrong questions related to her personal life. As she said, Andrew Cuomo asked her if she thought age made a difference in their romantic relationship.
Bennett said in the report.
“I understood that the governor wanted to sleep with me, and felt horribly uncomfortable and scared”
Governor Andrew Cuomo said
“I was trying to be mentor to her. I never made advances towards miss Charlotte Bennett, nor did I ever intend to act in any way that was inappropriate”.
Governor gave his statement on Saturday.

“We need a full and independent investigation,” said Mayor Bill de Blasio, who is also a Democrat and long-time rival of Cuomo.
