Boylan: See you in court, creep

- Lee Brown

The first woman to publicly accuse Gov. Cuomo of sexual harassment has confirmed her plans to sue him — insisting that the powerful politician is still “gaslightin­g and revictimiz­ing” women.

“Finally, the world now believes what I have known for years but had been too afraid to reveal: the Governor of New York sexually harassed and abused far too many women, for far too long,” former aide Lindsey Boylan wrote in a blog post.

“It’s not ‘our truth.’ It’s the truth,” she said of the 10 other women who came forward after her December tweets about Cuomo’s alleged behavior.

Boylan’s scathing words came hours before Cuomo on Tuesday announced he’d be stepping down amid mounting pressure and a looming impeachmen­t by state legislator­s.

In her Medium post, Boylan said “digesting each line” of the scathing 165-page report issued by state Attorney General Letitia James’ office last week was “like swallowing a shard of glass.”

Boylan was Cuomo’s deputy secretary for economic developmen­t and a special adviser from March 2015 through October 2018, according to her LinkedIn profile.

“I am personally devastated by the accounts of the Governor’s widespread harassment, the scope of the retaliatio­n campaign he waged against me and the efforts by his minions to protect him at all costs,” she wrote.

“As recently as Saturday, the Governor sent his attack dogs on national television to accuse me of ‘lying,’ ” she added of the governor’s legal team.

Cuomo had denied all allegation­s in the explosive report.
