CNN —

A former aide to ex-New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, who previously claimed Cuomo groped her breast, is filing a lawsuit against him alleging sexual harassment and abuse, according to a summons filed this week.

Some basic punctuation would also work wonders:

Accuser, who previously claimed former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo groped them, filing lawsuit.

Not to mention something like:

Lawsuit filed by Accuser in former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo groping case

(or "groping scandal" if you want extra clickbait)

Which I feel would be clearer and shorter. You could definitely do even better than that, but what I'm saying is there's at least a few ways that the title could have been made both clearer and more concise.

The headline as it reads right now is “ Accuser who previously claimed former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo groped her filing lawsuit”. Headlines don’t have periods because they tend to cause people to stop reading and therefore not read the articles.

This is very old school journalism 101 thinking. Look at what headlines actually are. They were always “clickbait” or “eye bait” but there are plenty of headlines that use punctuation.

This comment ends like a modern headline. But will you accept the point?
