A recent filing in a lawsuit against New York City mayoral candidate Eric Adams has revealed that a woman accusing him of assault wrote about the alleged incident years ago. The filing, which was made public on Monday, claims that the woman detailed the alleged assault in a blog post in 2014.
The woman, who is identified only as Jane Doe in the lawsuit, alleges that Adams assaulted her in 2014 while he was serving as the Brooklyn Borough President. According to the filing, the woman wrote about the alleged assault in a blog post that was published on December 17, 2014. In the post, she described Adams as an “alleged abuser” and accused him of assaulting her in his office.
The lawsuit, which was filed in March of this year, accuses Adams of assaulting the woman and then retaliating against her when she tried to report the incident. The filing also alleges that Adams used his position of power to intimidate the woman and prevent her from speaking out about the assault.
Adams has denied the allegations, calling them “categorically false” and accusing his political opponents of trying to smear his campaign. In a statement released on Monday, Adams said, “I have never assaulted anyone. I have never engaged in any form of sexual misconduct. These allegations are false, and I will fight to clear my name.”
The filing comes at a crucial time for Adams, who is currently leading in the polls in the race for New York City mayor. The allegations have raised questions about his character and could potentially impact his chances of winning the election. However, Adams has maintained his innocence and has vowed to continue his campaign despite the accusations.
The lawsuit is ongoing, and it remains to be seen how the allegations will affect Adams’ campaign. In the meantime, the woman accusing him of assault has spoken out about her decision to come forward, saying that she hopes her story will encourage other survivors to speak out against their abusers.
