ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) A woman who accused Gov. Andrew Cuomo of groping her breast at the governors state residence filed a criminal complaint against him, the Albany County Sheriffs office said Friday.

The complaint, filed Thursday with the sheriffs office, is the first known instance where a woman has made an official report with a law enforcement agency over alleged misconduct by Cuomo.

Albany County Sheriff Craig Apple told the New York Post that it is possible the Democratic governor could be arrested if investigators or the county district attorney determine he committed a crime.

The end result could either be it sounds substantiated and an arrest is made and it would be up to the DA to prosecute the arrest, he told the newspaper, which was the first to report on the complaint. Just because of who it is we are not going to rush it or delay it, Apple said.

Apple didnt immediately return a phone message from The Associated Press. His office confirmed to The AP that the report had been filed.
