Former New York governor Andrew Cuomo has been charged with a misdemeanor complaint in connection with the allegations which brought about his resignation in August.

A spokesman for the New York courts said Thursday that the complaint was filed in Albany City Court.

Cuomo, a Democrat, resigned in August in the face of a likely impeachment by the New York Assembly after a state investigation found that he harassed and oversaw an unlawful attempt to exact retribution against one of his many accusers.

A Cuomo spokesman did not immediately comment on the news.
