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.

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.

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.”
