(AP Photo\/Hans Pennink)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h5>OAN Newsroom<br \/>UPDATED 6:25 PM PT \u2013 Friday, October 29, 2021<\/h5>\n<p>The Albany County Sheriff defends his decision to file misdemeanor charges against former Gov. Andrew Cuomo.<\/p>\n<p>On Friday, Sheriff Craig Apple said his office has an \u201coverwhelming amount of evidence\u201d leading him to believe the sexual misconduct allegations against Cuomo are true. The complaint alleged Cuomo forcibly touched a woman under her blouse in December of 2020.<\/p>\n<p>However, Apple said as far as a conviction goes, it\u2019s really going to come down to a jury, judge and the District Attorney\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur investigators have sifted through hundreds of documents, if not thousands, executed several search warrants and interviewed numerous witnesses, including our victim. As a result of all that information, a packet was sent down to Albany City Court for review. As a result of that review, a criminal summons was issued,\u201d said Apple.<\/p>\n<p>Apple said Cuomo is due in Albany City Court on Nov. 17, where he will be processed and assumingly released.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Andrew Cuomo could face an arrest warrant if he doesn&#8217;t show up for November 17 court date for misdemeanor charge of forcible touching, Albany County Sheriff Craig Apple says<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s my hope that he shows up.
