In Her Own Words

This episode contains graphic depictions of alleged sexual assault. Please take care while listening. The woman at the center of the most serious allegation of sexual misconduct against Gov. Andrew Cuomo told her story this week to Times Union Capitol Bureau Managing Editor Brendan Lyons. She says she now sees the experience as an escalating sequence of inappropriate overtures that occurred over roughly two years, including groping at the governor's mansion. On this episode of The Eagle, Lyons shares what he learned from the conversation with the staffer, whose identity is being purposefully withheld. Also on this episode, reporter Massarah Mikati discusses a lawsuit by civil rights groups against a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center in Western New York that experienced a large COVID-19 outbreak. Arts and entertainment writer Steve Barnes provides an outlook on what the immediate future holds for live entertainment in the Capital Region. Learn more about your ad choices.
