Woman who accused Gov. Cuomo of sexual harassment speaks with investigators for more than 4 hours

Debra Katz -- an attorney for Charlotte Bennett, the 25-year-old former policy adviser to Cuomo -- said her client sat with investigators for more than four hours Monday and shared more than 120 pages of contemporaneous records and documents.

"The investigators have been moving quickly, and with sensitivity, to get to the heart of these allegations," Katz said in a statement. "We remain confident that their investigation will substantiate Charlotte's claims of sexual harassment against Gov. Cuomo, as well as the failure of his senior staff to meet their mandatory reporting requirements under the very laws he signed."

The investigation is being led by attorneys Joon Kim, a former prosecutor with the US Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York, and Anne Clark, an employment discrimination attorney. The duo was selected by New York Attorney General Letitia James to lead the probe.

Bennett told The New York Times in February that she had several uncomfortable encounters with Cuomo, including one incident in which he asked her questions about her sex life during a conversation in his state Capitol office and said he was open to relationships with women in their 20s.

Cuomo denied Bennett's allegations, saying he "never made advances toward Ms. Bennett, nor did I ever intend to act in any way that was inappropriate."

Katz said in her statement Monday that Bennett shared with investigators "detailed information" about the "sexually hostile" work environment Cuomo allegedly fostered in the Manhattan and Albany offices, saying that he created "rivalries and tensions among female staffers on whom he bestowed attention."

"One piece of new information that came to light today was the Governor's preoccupation with his hand size and what the large size of his hands indicated to Charlotte and other members of his staff," Katz said in the statement.

CNN has reached out to Cuomo's office for comment. He has denied the allegations against him, saying last week, "Women have a right to come forward and be heard. I did not do what has been alleged, period."

On March 8, after it was announced that Kim and Clark had been selected to head up the investigation, Katz released a statement saying their selection shows that James is taking the investigation seriously, and emphasized she hopes it will not just focus on what Cuomo said and did, but also, on the "culture of secrecy, abuse and fear that he fostered among his staff."
