NextImg:New York City mayor accused of sexually assaulting woman 30 years ago in new lawsuit

A woman accused New York City Mayor Eric Adams of sexually assaulting her in 1993 in a court filing submitted Wednesday.

The filing said the alleged assault took place when both the woman and Mr. Adams, 63, were working for the city. Mr. Adams was a police captain with the NYPD at the time.

No details of the incident were shared in the anonymous female plaintiff’s filing in the state Supreme Court of Manhattan.

“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 plaintiff submitted the filing under the Adult Survivors Act, a temporary law enacted last year that removes the statute of limitations to sue over alleged sexual assault incidents.

The filing came late Wednesday — hours before the law was set to expire.  

The woman is seeking $5 million in damages, according to the summons.

Mr. Adams said the incident never occurred.

“This is something that has never happened,” the mayor said. “I don’t even recall meeting the person and I’m going to remain steadfast in running the city. I would not harm anyone in any manner such as that.”

A source told ABC News that the NYPD has no record of the woman ever working for the department.
