New York mayor denies sex assault claim amid flurry of last-minute suits

New York, United States: New York City mayor Eric Adams has been accused of sexually assaulting a female coworker 30 years ago, US media reported Thursday (Friday in Manila), as the northern state sees a flurry of such suits filed ahead of a statute of limitations deadline.

The Democratic mayor 'vigorously' denies the claim, his office said, arguing he does not know the plaintiff and would never cause anyone physical harm.
