NYC Mayor Sued For Sexual Assault
Report on the mayor’s latest troubles via ABC above.
Per the New York Times report below, the woman suing Adams has a long history of filing lawsuits, including one from last year in which she sued a Florida casino for failing to protect her when a patron somehow fell on top of her so forcefully that she believed she was being attacked by a demon:
The lawsuit is not the plaintiff’s first. In 2008, she sued American Airlines, arguing that an employee had caused her to fall out of a wheelchair, injuring her back. After four days of trial, a jury decided in favor of the airline.
She sued the Miami-Dade County Public Schools Board in 2009, arguing that she was denied compensation after she was attacked by a student. She lost at trial and then appealed parts of the decision to the Florida Supreme Court and the U.S. Supreme Court, where she won several procedural motions but failed to win a retrial.
Last year, the plaintiff sued a casino in Florida, arguing the company was negligent in maintaining its facilities after a patron fell against her with such force that she feared “she was under ‘demonic attack,’” according to the lawsuit. That case is unresolved.
