A former aide to New York governor Andrew Cuomo has accused him of sexual harassment, saying in a series of tweets that he made inappropriate comments about her looks.

Lindsey Boylan, who worked for Mr Cuomo until 2018 and is now running for office in New York, made the allegations on Sunday.

Ms Bylan tweeted that Mr Cuomo “sexually harassed me for years. Many saw it, and watched.”

She went on: “I could never anticipate what to expect: would I be grilled on my work (which was very good) or harassed about my looks. Or would it be both in the same conversation? This was the way for years.”

Mr Cuomo’s press secretary Caitlin Girouard said: “There is simply no truth to these claims.”

Ms Boylan, 36, did not provide details of the incidents she was referring to in her tweets.

Numerous leading US media outlets including The New York Times and Associated Press said she declined requests to comment.

Ms Boylan later tweeted: "To be clear: I have no interest in talking to journalists. I am about validating the experience of countless women and making sure abuse stops.”

Yes, @NYGovCuomo sexually harassed me for years. Many saw it, and watched.

I could never anticipate what to expect: would I be grilled on my work (which was very good) or harassed about my looks. Or would it be both in the same conversation? This was the way for years.

Ms Boylan did not immediately respond to a message seeking more details of the alleged incidents from The Daily Telegraph.

According to her LinkedIn page Ms Boylan was deputy secretary for economic development for New York state and special advisor to the governor between 2015 and 2018.

She challenged long-service Democratic congressman Jerrold Nadler for his seat in a primary this year but did not succeed. She is now running for the position of Manhattan borough president.

Ms Boylan’s tweets were posted after it was reported that Mr Cuomo was being considered by Joe Biden, the US president-elect, for the position of US attorney general.

Ms Boylan has previously been critical of Mr Cuomo, tweeting earlier this month that “life working for him is endlessly dispiriting”.

She added: “That environment is beyond toxic. I’m still unwrapping it years later in therapy!”

Mr Cuomo has not responded in public to the accusation of sexual harassment.
