A lawsuit filed on Monday accuses New York City Mayor Eric Adams of sexually assaulting a woman in 1993, a charge the mayor denies.

The woman claims that Mr. Adams demanded sexual favors from her in exchange for helping her advance her career with the New York City Transit Police Department, according to the complaint filed in the New York Supreme Court in Manhattan.
