Brittany Commisso, a 32-year-old executive assistant to New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, is one of 11 women named in a damning report by New York State Attorney General Letitia James alleging that Cuomo sexually harassed many women and broke state and federal law.

Commisso told “CBS This Morning” and the Times Union in her first public statements since accusing Cuomo of sexual harassment that “the governor has to be held accountable.”

The staffer who accused Gov. Andrew Cuomo of groping her disclosed her identity in an interview about the event, which is now the subject of a criminal investigation.
