The problems are multiplying for Eric Adams, the mayor of New York. Already in the focus of a investigation of course corruption in the donation of funds to his campaignthe first Democratic mayor has been facing an accusation in court since Wednesday night for having committed a alleged sexual assault in 1993, when he was a police officer.
As revealed by the publication ‘The Messenger’, a woman, who then also worked for the city, has initiated a legal process in court in which she seeks a trial. In the initial documentation, collected in only three pages, no details given of what happened but they talk about “sexual assault, assault and discrimination labor by gender and sex, retaliation, hostile work environment and intentional provocation of emotional distress”.
The woman seeks compensation of at least five million dollars and accuses, in addition to Adams, the New York Police Department’s Traffic Bureau and the Guardian Association, an organization composed mainly of black law enforcement officers in the court system. And he has started the process by taking advantage of a state law who opened a one year window to file civil lawsuits cases of sexual abuse that they had prescribed. That deadline expired this Friday.
“If they met, he doesn’t remember it”
A spokesperson for the mayor’s office has responded to the accusations by saying that “the mayor does not know who the person is” who has initiated the legal process against the mayor with the serious accusation. “If they ever met, he doesn’t remember it.” but I would never do anything to physically harm another person. y strongly denies the accusation,” the spokesperson said in a statement to ‘The Messenger’.
