Sexual Assault Allegations Resurface Against NYC Mayor Eric Adams

New York City Mayor Eric Adams has been accused of sexually assaulting a former colleague in 1993, according to a legal summons filed in New York Supreme Court. The woman is seeking at least $5 million in damages, alleging sexual assault, battery, gender discrimination, retaliation, a hostile work environment, and emotional distress. Adams denies the allegations and claims he does not recall meeting the accuser. The filing was made just before the expiration of the New York Adult Survivors Act, which allows adult sexual assault survivors to sue within one year, regardless of the original statute of limitations.
