Mayor Adams has been accused of sexually assaulting a former colleague in 1993 in a lawsuit seeking at least $5 million filed just before the deadline for the Adult Survivors Act, The Post learned Thursday.
The accuser, whom The Post is not identifying because of the nature of the allegation, named the former cop as a defendant along with the NYPD’s transit bureau and Guardian Association in a lawsuit filed late Wednesday.
“Plaintiff was sexually assaulted by Defendant Eric Adams in New York, New York in 1993 while they both worked for the City of New York,” alleges the 3-page summons, which does not give more detail.

“The mayor does not know who this person is,” a City Hall spokesperson said early Thursday.
“If they ever met, he doesn’t recall it.”
The accuser’s attorney did not immediately respond to requests for comment from The Messenger, which first revealed the lawsuit.
