Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo will get his mug shot taken and be fingerprinted next month — when he faces “an overwhelming amount of evidence against him” in court, authorities said Friday.
“He will be arraigned, he will be fingerprinted,” Albany County Sheriff Craig Apple told The Post of Cuomo’s Nov. 17 court date involving the misdemeanor criminal charge against him for allegedly grabbing a female ex-aide’s breast.
“He will be photographed and … [presumably] he will be released on his own recognizance,” Apple said of the disgraced ex-governor.
If Cuomo fails to appear in court, “You could have a criminal arrest warrant issued,” Apple added at a press conference Friday.
Apple’s office filed the criminal complaint against Cuomo in Albany City Court on Thursday — with the sheriff calling the case “solid” at the briefing.
Apple said his office conducted “a very comprehensive and methodical investigation.”
The rap against Cuomo could land him a year behind bars if convicted.
The charge — filed by the sheriff’s office because that’s where the ex-aide lodged her complaint in August — claims Cuomo, 63, “did intentionally, and for no legitimate purpose, forcibly place his hand under the blouse shirt of the victim … and onto her intimate body part.”
The former administrative assistant was not named in the court document, but her lawyer has identified her as 33-year-old Brittany Commisso, one of a slew of Cuomo sex-harassment accusers.
Commisso’s lawyer, Brian Premo, told The Post in a text Thursday that his client “was surprised by the turn of events but she has been and will remain a resolute cooperating victim in pursuit of blind justice.”
