Cuomo accuser Charlotte Bennett is 'brave' and what happened to her 'unforgivable,' friends say

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. – When Charlotte Bennett was 12 years old, Gov. Andrew Cuomo moved into a home less than 5 miles from hers in Westchester County.

Cuomo, then the attorney general of New York, was raising his three daughters with his then-girlfriend Sandra Lee, the celebrity chef.

Their worlds even collided briefly: Bennett once played middle-school soccer with one of Cuomo’s daughters.
