A woman has accused New York City Mayor Eric Adams of sexually assaulting her in 1993, according to a lawsuit filed on Monday.In the filing, former police administrative aide Lorna Beach-Mathura claims Adams—then a transit police officer—was giving her a ride home when he stopped at a vacant lot and requested sex from her.Beach-Mathura further claims that after she rebuffed his advances, Adams 'forcibly pushed' her hand onto his penis and, after she removed her hand, masturbated.
Beach-Mathura alleges that Adams said he would talk with her about getting a promotion within the transit force and picked her up in his car after work in Manhattan.She said rather than driving her straight to her home in Coney Island, he stopped in a vacant lot near the Hudson River. Beach-Mathura claims it was there that he demanded oral sex in exchange for job help.In Monday's lawsuit, Beach-Mathura claims she told current and former NYPD officials about the alleged incident.
