Gov. Andrew Cuomo Steps down over sexual harassment allegations　性騷擾指控纏身 紐約州長辭職下台

Andrew Cuomo, New York State Governor, announced his resignation after a series of sexual harassment allegations. The decision came a week after an investigation released by New York’s attorney general that found Cuomo sexually harassed at least 11 women.

The accusations began in December 2021, which Cuomo denied. During his resignation speech, Cuomo said he never intentionally mistreated women, and the pressure for his ouster was politically motivated.

Even after stepping down, Cuomo still faces the possibility of criminal charges and impeachment, which could prevent him from running for office again. Before the allegations, Cuomo was often mentioned as a potential presidential candidate.

友善讓你懂 │ 解說：

美國紐約州長安德魯‧古莫，因一連串的性騷擾指控，近期宣布辭職。紐約總檢察長發布的一項調查中發現，古莫至少對11名女性性騷擾。報告出來一周後，古莫做出辭職的決定。

這些性騷擾指控始於2021年12月，但古莫始終否認這些指控。在辭職演說中，古莫依然表示自己從未故意騷擾女性，而要求他下台的壓力是出於政治動機。

下台後，古莫仍可能面臨刑事指控和彈劾。一旦被彈劾，就可能使他不能再次競選公職。在指控之前，古莫常被認為是非常有潛力的總統候選人。
