A woman has accused New York Mayor Eric Adams of sexually assaulting her back in 1993.
According to a new court filing, a woman filed a summons under New York’s Adult Survivors Act that names Adams (D-N.Y.), the New York Police Department (NYPD) and two unknown entities as defendants.
It continued to state that the plaintiff was also working for the city at the time of the assault and that at the time, Adams was a police captain.
“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 summons said. “The claims brought here allege intentional and negligent acts and omissions for physical, psychological, and other injuries suffered as a result of conduct that would constitute sexual offenses.”
The unidentified woman is seeking $5 million in relief as well as attorney fees and interest.
The legal documents also accused Adams of employment discrimination on the basis of her “gender and sex, retaliation, hostile work environment and intentional infliction of emotional distress.”
A City Hall spokesperson addressed the spree, saying that the mayor does not know the woman filing the summons.
“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 spokesperson said.
Governor Kathy Hochul (D-N.Y.) signed the Adult Survivors Act into law in May of last year, eliminating the customary one-year statute of limitations for filing a lawsuit over alleged sexual assaults.
Under the ASA, at least 2,600 claims have been filed in state courts. This week, multiple lawsuits were filed against well-known defendants such as, Axl Rose of Guns N’ Roses, Oscar Winner Cuba Gooding Jr., and celebrity photographer Terry Richardson.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams Accused of Sexual Assault in 1993
In a recent court filing, a woman has accused New York City Mayor Eric Adams of sexually assaulting her back in 1993. The allegations were made under New York’s Adult Survivors Act and also named the New York Police Department (NYPD) and two unknown entities as defendants.
According to the summons, the plaintiff, who was working for the city at the time, alleged that Adams, who was a police captain at the time, sexually assaulted her in New York, resulting in physical, psychological, and other injuries. The woman is seeking $5 million in relief, as well as attorney fees and interest.
The legal documents also state that Adams is being accused of employment discrimination based on gender and sex, retaliation, hostile work environment, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
In response to these accusations, a City Hall spokesperson stated that the mayor does not know the woman filing the summons and does not recall ever meeting her. The spokesperson vehemently denied the allegations, asserting that the mayor would never purposefully harm another person.
It is important to note that Governor Kathy Hochul signed the Adult Survivors Act into law in May of last year, eliminating the customary one-year statute of limitations for filing a lawsuit over alleged sexual assaults. Since then, over 2,600 claims have been filed in state courts under the ASA. This week, multiple lawsuits have been filed against well-known defendants such as Axl Rose of Guns N’ Roses, Oscar Winner Cuba Gooding Jr., and celebrity photographer Terry Richards.
The allegations against Mayor Eric Adams are a serious matter and should be thoroughly investigated. It is crucial to provide a safe environment for survivors to come forward and seek justice. The Adult Survivors Act has opened up avenues for victims to hold perpetrators accountable, and it is essential that these claims are handled with the utmost care and fairness.
As the case unfolds, it is important to remember the principle of “innocent until proven guilty.” Both parties involved should have the opportunity to present their evidence and arguments in a fair and impartial legal process. This case serves as a reminder of the ongoing need to address and combat sexual assault, ensuring that survivors are heard and supported in their pursuit of justice.
