A high-ranking official in Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s administration — who won the Miss Latin America beauty pageant in 2006 before her career in public service — is facing charges of assaulting her partner and endangering her infant child, The Post has learned.

New York State director of Latino affairs Melissa Quesada allegedly committed the attack Nov. 3 in her residence in New Rochelle and was arrested by local police Nov. 21, according to court papers obtained by The Post this week.

According to the charges filed with the Westchester DA by the New Rochelle Police Department, Quesada left her baby unattended in a tub and attacked her now-estranged partner, Adrian Daniel Roman, the father of her child.

“[Quesada] … did grab the victim by the neck with her right [hand] and dug her nails in the left side neck and her right thumb into his throat causing substantial pain. The defendant’s conduct caused him to fear for his safety and become harassed and afraid,” the complaint said.

“The victim sustained lacerations to his neck and difficulty swallowing and sought medical attention for his injuries,” the police complaint filed with the DA’s office said.

The complaint said Roman, an artist, filed a deposition/complaint with the New Rochelle Police Department.

A source familiar with the case said Quesada, 41, was on maternity leave during the domestic violence dispute and recently returned to work in Cuomo’s office.

She’s charged with a misdemeanor assault with the intent to cause physical injury, a misdemeanor count of endangering the welfare of a child and a violation of harassment/physical contact.

Quesada was released on her own recognizance and her next court date is Feb. 4 in domestic violence court.

Cuomo appointed Quesada, a lawyer, as his director of Latino affairs in 2016 after she previously served roles in the Labor Department. She also served on the board of the National Puerto Rican Day Parade Committee.

A protective order was imposed against Quesada following her arrest, records show.

Quesada, when contacted by The Post, said, “I’m sorry. I can’t comment. Thank you.”

Asked for comment on the Quesada case, Cuomo spokeswoman Caitlin Girouard said,

“We’re reserving action while the matter is pending.”

Quesada is paid $106,608 a year.
