A former staffer who accused ex-New York Governor Andrew Cuomo of sexual harassment has withdrawn her federal lawsuit against him, according to court records. The voluntary notice of dismissal without prejudice was filed by attorneys for Charlotte Bennett, who had filed suit against Cuomo in 2022.
Bennett's attorney, Debra Katz, stated that Bennett dropped her lawsuit on the eve of her deposition. In response, a representative for Cuomo praised Bennett's decision, claiming her claims had falsely smeared the former governor for years.
