A New York prosecutor on Tuesday dropped a groping charge against former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, alleging he could not prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt.

Albany County District Attorney David Soares, a Democrat, said that prosecutors in his office found the woman who filed the complaint both “cooperative and credible,” but a review of the evidence led them to conclude “that we cannot meet our burden at trial.”
