Eric Adams sued for sexually assaulting woman in 1993; accuser wants $5M
Adams’ lawyer, Alex Spiro, also is asking the judge to make her pay for all of the defense’s legal fees.Mayor Adams has called on a judge to dismiss the sexual harassment lawsuit against him due to the accuser missing deposition dates.“New York courts have consistently found that a complaint should be dismissed where a plaintiff fails to appear for court-ordered depositions,” Spiro said in a court filing submitted Monday to Manhattan state Supreme Court Judge Richard Latin.
“This willful misconduct has caused defendants significant prejudice because they have been unable to obtain even basic discovery from plaintiff in the more than nine months since she filed this lawsuit,” Spiro wrote.including Deputy Mayor for Public Safety Phil Banks, his brother, schools Chancellor David Banks, and David’s fiancee, First Deputy Mayor Sheena Wright.
Court papers claim she told nine people about the alleged assault, including seven people before the 2022 passing of the Adult Survivors Act, a law that gave New Yorkers one year to file sex-assault claims that would otherwise fall outside the statute of limitations.During a feisty court hearing last month, Spiro, who has represented celebrities such as Jay-Z and Elon Musk, argued that Beach-Mathura had provided “no information” to back up her claims, including the date of the alleged assault.
