    The mayor of New York City, Eric Adams, has been accused of sexual assault in a court filing submitted on late Wednesday.

    It was filed under the Adult Survivors Act, a New York state law which provided a one-year “look-back” window for adult sexual misconduct accusers to file civil lawsuits that previously would have been barred due to the statute of limitations.

    The summons adds that the concerns “sexual assault, battery and employment discrimination on the basis of Plaintiff’s gender and sex, retaliation, hostile work environment and intentional infliction of emotional distress”.

    The Guardian is withholding the name of Adams’ accuser as the allegation involves sexual assault.

    We are also thankful that the legislature may be considering reopening the window because so many victims of sexual assault are only finding out about the ASA now.”

    On 2 November, federal agents raided the home of Adams’ top fundraiser, Brianna Suggs, seizing electronic devices and documents.
