New York Mayor Eric Adams joins the growing lists of prominent people and celebrities who have been accused of sexual assault in the last few days.
In a new bombshell legal filing, a woman accuses Adams of assaulting her in 1993. The alleged victim who filed a summons Wednesday in Manhattan Supreme Court under the Adult Survivors Act, not only named Adams, but the NYPD and the Guardian Association of the NYPD as defendants in the case. The summons which serves as a notice of a pending lawsuit reads, “Plaintiff was sexually assaulted by Defendant Eric Adams in New York, New York in 1993 while they both worked for the City of New York,” The Messenger reports.
So far, further details have not yet been made public and Adams, who’s already facing harsh scrutiny for a number of issues including major NYC budget cuts, has not yet commented.
Meanwhile, in a statement to the news outlet, a City Hall spokesperson said the mayor does not know the plaintiff in the case. “If they ever met, he doesn’t recall it,” the spokesperson said in the statement. Per the news outlet, the woman is seeking a trial and at least $5 million in relief, according to the filing.
