A legal complaint filed Monday alleges Adams demanded sexual favors in exchange for helping a former colleague get a promotion.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams was accused in a lawsuit Monday of sexually assaulting a former female colleague who asked for career help in 1993.
The woman claims Adams then demanded oral sex from her and exposed himself. When she"repeatedly and adamantly refused," the lawsuit states Adams"forcibly pushed" her hand onto his"erect penis," and after she"grabbed her hand away" and"repeatedly said 'NO' to him," he"continued to masturbate himself," the complaint states.
The complaint filed in Manhattan on Monday is part of a November lawsuit brought under the Adult Survivors Act, a now-expired New York law that extended the window in which sexual assault survivors could take legal action. The woman's initial notice of claim in the New York Supreme Court last year didn't provide the details stated in the new complaint.
