New York Mayor Eric Adams has been accused of sexual assault in 1993 in a new court summons filed under the state’s Adult Survivors Act.

The lawsuit seeks at least $5 million in addition to attorneys’ fees and interest. Adams is also facing scrutiny over a federal investigation into fundraising during his 2021 campaign.
