Por que no los dos?
Both can be correct statements.
I don’t think they put you in jail for sexual harassment usually.
Usually, no. For a pattern of sexual harassment with over a dozen victims? Probably would net most ordinary people some jail time.
Almost certainly not. Maybe it’ll get you fired and you’ll get a bunch of civil suits filed against you.
Sexual harassers almost never have only one victim - it’s pretty much everyone.
The governor’s office under Cuomo knew about his conduct but failed to effectively stop it, the DOJ concluded from the investigation it launched in August 2021, the same month Cuomo resigned amid mounting sexual harassment allegations.
Cuomo’s office instead worked to protect the then-governor from further accusations — and his senior staff retaliated against four of the women he harassed, the DOJ said.

Hochul in a statement said that when she took office, she “took immediate action” to “root out the culture of harassment that had previously plagued the Executive Chamber and implement strong policies to promote a safe workplace for all employees.”
“I am pleased that the U.S. Department of Justice has acknowledged the significance of those efforts, and look forward to partnering with them as we continue to build upon that success,” Hochul said.
