New York City Mayor Eric Adams, who is at the center of an FBI probe looking into his campaign finances, is now being accused of sexual assault. The allegations stem from his time as a New York City transit police officer in 1993.

A lawsuit filed under the Adult Survivors Act in New York on Wednesday, Nov. 22, alleges that Adams sexually assaulted the plaintiff while the plaintiff worked for the city. The plaintiff is seeking $5 million in damages.

The three-page filing does not go into details of the allegations but states: “The nature of this action is sexual assault, battery and employment discrimination on the basis of Plaintiff’s gender and sex, retaliation, hostile work environment and intentional infliction of emotional distress.”

The Guardian reported that Mayor Adams denied the allegations, stating that he does not know the plaintiff and would never physically harm another person.

“I would never do anything to harm anyone,” Adams said. “My career speaks for itself. Just really something that absolutely has never happened. I don’t even recall meeting the person who made this allegation.”

The Adult Survivors Act gives sex assault accusers in New York a one-year window to retroactively file civil suits, which otherwise would have been blocked due to the statute of limitations; that window expires Friday, Nov. 24.

According to an Axios report, a wave of lawsuits have been filed in the year-long window against celebrities like Jamie Foxx, and Guns N’ Roses’ Axl Rose. Both have denied the allegations.
