Lawsuit against Mayor Adams’ top aide portrays culture of sexual harassment inside NYPD
against one of Mayor Eric Adams’ closest advisers is alleging a culture of misogyny and sexual harassment within the NYPD — a department that has faced numerous reports of sexism and gender discrimination against women.
The 55-page complaint paints Pearson as a known sexual harasser, regularly rubbing the shoulders and arms of women in a special NYPD unit and making lewd gestures that included licking his lips and opening his legs “in an overtly sexual way.”Pearson’s behavior — which included an offer to help Ludemann advance her career in return for a sexual relationship — were “commonplace” tactics used to harass women within the NYPD, where fighting the abuse was futile, according to the suit.
The lawsuit also states that Pearson wanted Ludemann to be his personal driver, allegedly another widely used harassment tactic. In addition to Pearson, Ludemann is also suing the city, the NYPD’s Chief of Department Jeffrey Maddrey and Internal Affairs Inspector Joseph Profeta.over an incident that allegedly occurred in 1993 when he was a transit police officer. The complaint states that Adams promised to help the accuser with her career in return for oral sex.
