New York City Mayor Eric Adams stands accused today of sexual assault.
In a summons filed late Wednesday under the Adult Survivors Act, an unidentified woman claims the Big Apple’s chief executive sexually assaulted her in 1993. At the time, both Adams and his alleged victim worked for the City of New York. The former as a New York City Police Department captain.
Speaking to WABC 7 in New York, a spokesperson for Adams office categorically denied the accusations: “The mayor does not know who this person is. If they ever met, he doesn’t recall it. But he would never do anything to physically harm another person and vigorously denies any such claim.”
The station reported the NYPD has no record of the woman for the department. (RELATED: FBI Investigating To Determine If Dem Campaign Colluded With Turkish Government)
Newsmax’s Charles Kim has more:
“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 3-page summons obtained by the Messenger alleges.
According to the report, the summons, which also names the NYPD Transit Bureau and Guardian Association as defendants in the case, is being brought under the Adult Survivors Act, signed into law by New York Gov. Kathy Hochul in 2022.
The law creates a “one year look back” to allow survivors of sexual assaults over the age of 18 to sue their alleged abusers regardless of when the abuse took place.
The Act is set to expire tomorrow. Eleventh hour lawsuits have been filed against Axle Rose, Jamie Foxx, Cuba Gooding Jr. and Bill Cosby.
The Messenger said in its report that it purposely withheld the name of the plaintiff in the case, but did identify their attorney as Megan Goddard, a New York employment discrimination attorney and principal at Goddard Law PLLC.
Wednesday’s filing against Adams includes a notion of intent to sue.
