Mayor Eric Adams on Tuesday said the three-decade-old sexual assault allegations against him, made by a formerHizzoner took pains to dispel the accusation during his weekly “off-topic” media availability, immediately addressing the lawsuit, brought by Lorna Beach-Mathura in“It did not happen, I don’t recall ever meeting this person during my time in the Police Department,” Adams told reporters on March 19.
She also alleged that Adams retaliated against her for refusing his advances by getting her transferred from the NYPD to the Department of Probation, where she was eventually laid off. “Back in ‘93, many of you know, those of you who followed me, I was one of the most outspoken voices for fighting not only police abuse, but also for the rights of people,” he said. “I have been very clear on fighting the rights on behalf of women and I’m going to continue to do that.”
At one point Hinds-Radix said Adams would not be “answering specifics” when a reporter asked how he responds to the detailed nature of the complaint. Later in the event she again jumped in to say “I would rather him not give you what his view is, he will discuss his view with his attorneys as we go about litigating this matter,” in response to another reporter inquiring if the mayor thinks the accusation is politically motivated.
