Eric Adams Accused of Sexual Assault in Court Filing
New York City mayor Eric Adams has been accused of sexual assault in a legal summons filed on Wednesday. The accuser is a woman whose identity has not been made public.

In addition to the mayor, the plaintiff names the transit bureau of the New York Police Department and the New York Police Department Guardians Association as defendants.
According to the Associated Press, the plaintiff is seeking a trial and $5 million in damages. Eric Adams has since denied the allegations, claiming he does not recall meeting his accuser.
