A spokesperson from City Hall conveyed to Fox News Digital that Eric Adams has no knowledge of the accuser and denies any recollection of meeting her.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams has strongly rejected serious sexual assault allegations made against him by a former colleague, as per a legal filing
The summons, filed in the state Supreme Court, identifies Eric Adams as the defendant, with the plaintiff seeking a trial and a minimum of $5 million in damages. The lawsuit, citing an alleged incident in 1993 while both worked for the City of New York, also includes the transit bureau of the NYPD and the Guardian Association of the NYPD as co-defendants.
Filed under the Adult Survivors Act, the summons triggers a lawsuit under New York’s 2022 law, allowing victims of sexual offenses beyond the statute of limitations to file civil suits for one year. Eric Adams was named just a day before the Nov. 24 deadline. This law has led to a surge in lawsuits against prominent figures, including Donald Trump, Sean “Diddy” Combs, and Russell Brand, totaling over 2,500 during the one-year period.
Adams faces an FBI investigation related to allegations of pressuring FDNY officials
The probe’s details remain undisclosed, and Adams, a 22-year NYPD veteran turned mayor, has consistently denied any wrongdoing. The FBI’s recent seizure of his electronics and a prior search at his fundraiser’s home have added complexity to the situation, prompting Adams to cancel a scheduled trip to Washington. Despite the controversies, Adams maintained his innocence.
