Cuomo, however, said he had authorized an outside review of Bennett's allegations. Garvey said in a statement that Bennett's allegations did not include a claim of physical contact or inappropriate sexual conduct and Bennett was consulted regarding the resolution, and expressed satisfaction and appreciation for the way in which it was handled.
