“The best way I can help now is if I step aside,” he said on Tuesday, while maintaining the claims were untruthful.
His resignation goes into effect in 14 days. Power will then be transferred to Lieutenant Governor Kathy Hochul.
The Democrat faced pressure from his own party to resign since last week’s report, including from President Biden.
That investigation from the New York Attorney General’s office found that Mr Cuomo, 63, sexually harassed 11 women, including state employees. He has denied the allegations.
It began in 2020 after several women publicly accused the governor of sexual misconduct.
The report caused many prominent Democrats to turn against Mr Cuomo, including Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi, Senate leader Chuck Schumer and New York’s two US Senators.

His fellow New York Democrats, who control the statehouse, had also started on plans to impeach him. Mr Cuomo is facing criminal inquiries in several counties as well.
