   NEW YORK (AP) — New York City Mayor Eric Adams has been accused of   
   sexually assaulting a woman in 1993, according to a legal summons filed   
   Wednesday.   
      
   The three-page filing 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.   
      
   “Plaintiff was sexually assaulted by Defendant Eric Adams in New York,   
   New York in 1993 while they both worked for the City of New York,” the   
   summons reads.   
      
   The filing seeks a trial and $5 million in relief. It was filed in state   
   Supreme Court in Manhattan. The woman's attorney did not immediately   
   return an emailed request for comment on Thursday. In remarks to   
   reporters on Thursday, Adams denied sexually assaulting anyone and said   
   he did not remember meeting the woman.   
      
   “It absolutely did not happen. I don't recall ever meeting this person   
   and I would never harm anyone in that magnitude. It did not happen,”   
   Adams said, according to a video posted by a reporter to X, the social   
   media platform formerly known as Twitter. “It did not happen, and that   
   is not who I am and that is not who I've ever been in my professional   
   life and, you know, it’s just something that never took place.”   
      
   Adams, a Democrat, was a New York City police officer who rose to the   
   rank of captain before entering politics. He served as a state senator   
   and Brooklyn borough president before becoming mayor.   
      
   The summons was filed under the Adult Survivors Act, a special New York   
   law that created a year-long suspension of the usual time limit to sue   
   over an alleged sexual assault. The suit against Adams was filed just   
   before the window to bring cases under the law was scheduled to close   
   after Thanksgiving.   
      
   The law cleared the way for a wave of lawsuits against famous men   
   accused of sexual misconduct, with a slew of cases coming in the final   
   weeks before it was set to expire. Over the past year, the act has led   
   to more than 2,500 lawsuits, including cases against former President   
   Donald Trump, hip hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs and comedian and actor   
   Russell Brand.   
      
   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.   
      
   The New York Times and New York Post have reported that part of the   
   investigation involves examining whether Adams inappropriately tried to   
   help the government of Turkey get city approval to open a 35-story   
   skyscraper housing diplomatic facilities in 2021, despite concerns about   
   the tower’s fire safety systems.   
      
   Adams has sidestepped questions about the FBI investigation but has   
   maintained he did nothing wrong.
