New York City Mayor Eric "Sanctuary City" Adams may be in deep pooh as a new lawsuit has been filed alleging that when he was on the police force in the 1990s, he demanded sexual favors from a colleague in exchange for help with a job situation.
Lorna Beach-Mathura, the mayor's accuser, said she was always passed over for promotions and experienced "resistance all-too-frequently faced by Black and female NYPD … employees in that era." Adams was at the time a leader in the Transit NYPD Guardians division, so she sought him out for his help.
The lawsuit states, "Instead of helping Plaintiff get fair treatment at the Defendant Transit Bureau, Defendant Adams preyed on her perceived vulnerability, demanding a quid pro quo sexual favor and sexually assaulting Plaintiff, revealing himself not to be the 'Guardian' he purported to be, but a predator."
A lawyer for the New York City Corporation Counsel, Sylvia O. Hinds-Radix, called the allegations "ludicrous," after rap artist Ludacris.
"While we review the complaint, the mayor fully denies these outrageous allegations and the events described here; we expect full vindication in court. Additionally, in 1993, Eric Adams was one of the most prominent public opponents of the racism within the NYPD, which is why the suit’s allegations that he had any sway over promotions of civilian employees is ludicrous," she asserted, in spite of her not actually being sure whether the allegations are true or not.
According to the lawsuit, Beach-Mathura discovered in the fall of 2023 that New York passed a law allowing survivors of sexual assault to come forward years after an attack and thus felt compelled to bring Adams' "behavior to light." And maybe make a few bucks in the deal.
She alleges that Adams said he would help her with an employment problem but instead drove her alone to a vacant lot and requested she perform fellatio on him, which she rejected. Afterward, he continued to sexually assault her, according to the suit.

When Adams ran for mayor, Beach-Mathura said she found his comments on the campaign trail "hypocritical and sanctimonious."
Beach-Mathura alleged in the lawsuit that Adams initially was going to pick her up and give her a ride home to Coney Island to talk. Once in the car, she realized instead that he was headed to an area near the Hudson River, which made her "nervous and scared."
"Plaintiff was frightened not only due to Defendant Adams’ appalling conduct, but also because she knew that he, as a police officer, had at least one loaded gun in the car," the lawsuit says.

The lawsuit alleges Adams showed her his wee wee and begged her to perform oral sex. He then placed her hand on his junk. When she refused, he began "celebrating Palm Sunday" in front of her, per the lawsuit, which used a different term.
Beach-Mathura also says Adams told her he needed to get back to work, drove her to a subway station in Manhattan and dropped her off there. He didn't even take her home.
She alleges Adams never helped her with the employment issue and that she eventually left city government in 1994. She now lives in Florida, where she has worked as a public school teacher.
