A former aide to New York's Governor has released new details about sexual harassment claims she made against him.

Lindsey Boylan claims that Governor Andrew Cuomo kissed her on the lips without consent once following a private meeting.

Boylan also says that Cuomo once joked they should play strip poker, and frequently touched her lower back, arms and legs.

Cuomo says the allegations against him are untrue.

The Governor's press secretary Caitlin Girouard released a statement denying the allegations.

"Ms. Boylan's claims of inappropriate behavior are quite simply false."
