Another woman is coming forward to accuse Gov. Andrew Cuomo of sexual misconduct, alleging that he grabbed her face and kissed her without her consent outside her home — and claiming to have photographic evidence.
The woman has yet to be publicly identified, but will hold a press briefing Monday afternoon with high-power attorney Gloria Allred, according to a press release.
The married woman will detail how she “was shocked when the Governor suddenly grabbed her face and kissed her in front of her home,” according to the release.
A photo of the kiss will be provided during the briefing, the release adds.
Cuomo’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Several women — most of them current or former Cuomo staffers — have accused the governor of inappropriate remarks or physical contact since late February.

Dozens of Democratic lawmakers — including New York’s two US senators, Kirsten Gillibrand and Majority Leader Chuck Schumer — have called on Cuomo to resign, but he has refused to do so.
He faces both an independent investigation organized by state Attorney General Letitia James, and a probe in the state Assembly as a prelude to impeachment proceedings.
