The mayor stands accused of demanding sexual favors during his time as an NYPD captain in exchange for helping to advance the career of a police department employee, the Associated Press reported.

The allegations provide details of accusations raised by the Black female plaintiff last November.

According to the lawsuit, the incident occurred back in 1993 when the woman was seeking promotion in the Transit Police Department. She had been passed up for multiple promotions and asked Adams for advice.

The then-NYPD Guardians Association member offered to drive the plaintiff home from work and allegedly drove to a vacant parking lot, where he told the woman he "also needed some help."

According to her account, Adams then demanded oral sex. When the woman refused, he exposed himself and proceeded to masturbate, the lawsuit claims.

"Adams preyed on her perceived vulnerability, demanding a quid pro quo sexual favor," the suit argues, "revealing himself not to be the 'Guardian' he purported to be, but a predator."

Adams has staunchly denied the allegations.

New York City’s corporation counsel, Sylvia O. Hinds-Radix, denounced the claims as "ludicrous" in a statement shared with the Associated Press.

"While we review the complaint, the mayor fully denies these outrageous allegations and the events described here," Hinds-Radix said. "We expect full vindication in court."

The plaintiff did not file a formal report of the incident at the time, but she has told "numerous people" – including current and former NYPD officials, family, and friends – about it over the years.

The lawsuit was brought under New York's Adult Survivors Act, which extended the statute of limitations for sexual assault cases.

The NYPD Transit Bureau and the NYPD Guardians Association are also named as defendants in the case.
