NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — There has been an odd twist to the charges of sexual harassment being brought against Gov. Andrew Cuomo . He met his latest accuser at the wedding of one of his top aides, and the aide’s wife is standing foursquare against the governor. Gareth Rhodes must feel like he’s caught between a rock and a hard place — or in this case between his boss and his wife. Cuomo’s latest accuser, Anna Ruch, was a guest at Rhodes’ wedding.
