Woman Accusing Eric Adams of Assault Wrote About It Years Ago, Filing Says
A recent filing in a lawsuit against New York City mayoral candidate Eric Adams has brought to light a disturbing allegation from years ago. The filing claims that a woman accusing Adams of assault had previously written about the incident in a blog post.
The woman, who remains anonymous, alleges that Adams assaulted her in 2014 while she was working as a server at an event he was attending. According to the filing, the woman wrote about the incident in a blog post in 2015, detailing how Adams had allegedly grabbed her inappropriately and made lewd comments to her.
The filing also claims that the woman reported the incident to the NYPD at the time, but no charges were ever filed. The woman is now seeking damages in a civil lawsuit against Adams and the city.
Adams has denied the allegations, calling them “categorically false.” In a statement, his campaign said, “These allegations are a political attack on Eric Adams, plain and simple. They are false, and Eric looks forward to clearing his name in court.”
The filing comes at a critical time in the mayoral race, with Adams currently leading in the polls. The allegations could potentially have a significant impact on his campaign, as voters weigh the credibility of the accuser and the accused.
It’s important to note that these are just allegations at this point, and the truth of the matter will likely be determined in court. However, the filing serves as a reminder of the importance of taking allegations of assault seriously and holding those responsible accountable for their actions.
As the case against Eric Adams unfolds, it will be interesting to see how it impacts the mayoral race and how voters respond to the allegations. In the meantime, it’s crucial to remember that all individuals have the right to come forward with their experiences and seek justice for any wrongdoing they may have faced.
