November 23, 2023 11:13 am

NEW YORK (AP) — New York City Mayor Eric Adams has been accused in a legal filing of sexually assaulting a woman in 1993. The three-page summons filed Wednesday does not contain details of the alleged assault but names Adams, the transit bureau of the New York Police Department and the New York Police Department Guardians Association as defendants. In a statement, a City Hall spokesman said the mayor does not know the person making the accusation and denied the claim. The filing comes as Adams has been dogged by an FBI investigation into his 2021 campaign that prompted agents to seize his phones and raid the home of his chief campaign fundraiser.
