The accusation against the mayor is for “sexual assault, injury and employment discrimination based on plaintiff’s gender and sex, retaliation, hostile work environment and intentional infliction of emotional distress”according to the document presented in the Superior Court of Justice of New York.
These allegations “are not true at all,” said the African-American mayor and former police officer. “He would never do anything to hurt anyone,” declared Adams, who was elected to the position in 2022.

“It didn’t happen at all. I don’t remember meeting this person. I will never hurt anyone this way. This cause is going to take its course, it is going to take its process, but it did not happen. That’s not who I am nor who I have been in my professional life. I have been in public life for almost 40 years. People know my character, they see how I am and how I act. “I emphatically maintain, first of all, that this never happened, and secondly, that I do not remember meeting the accuser,” he said to the press.
