Andrew Cuomo (D) of sexual harassment shared her story for the first time on national television.<\/p>\n<p>During an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=LsYiNrzj8YM\">interview with CBS<\/a> on Thursday, 25-year-old Charlotte Bennett spoke about her experience working for Cuomo as his executive assistant and health policy adviser. Bennett said Cuomo would ask intimate questions about her dating life and her age. For instance, he asked her if \u201d age difference mattered\u201d during an encounter.<\/p>\n<p>Bennett went on to say the governor would comment on her past romantic relationships and at one point implied he wanted to take things a step further. She told the CBS that the governor said he was lonely and was looking for a relationship.<\/p>\n<p>Bennett said she felt forced to respond to her bosses\u2019 remarks as he used his power as a political figure to take advantage of the vulnerable situation. She also noted, at one point she thought he was trying to sleep with her.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">CUOMO ACCUSER SPEAKS OUT: In her first television interview, Charlotte Bennett, a former staff member for NY Gov.
