(ALBANY, N.Y.) — Women say they were branded and traumatized by doctors in a secretive group, and state officials will review why authorities didn’t act sooner on the women’s reports, a spokesman for Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Friday State officials will examine whether the women’s complaints warrant an investigation now, the Democratic governor’s spokesman Richard Azzopardi said. The action comes after The New York Times reported on complaints about a group affiliated with the self-help organization NXIVM, which is based in suburban Albany and has chapters across the country.
