NEW YORK (AP) — New York City Mayor Eric Adams has been accused in a legal filing of sexually assaulting a woman in 1993. The three-page summons filed Wednesday 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. In a statement, a City Hall spokesman said the mayor does not know the person making the accusation and denied the claim. The filing seeks a trial and $5 million in relief.
