NYC Mayor's team seeks to dismiss sexual assault lawsuit due to defendant's repeated failure to appear for depositions.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams' legal team is seeking to dismiss a sexual assault lawsuit filed against him by Lorna Beach-Mathura.

The lawsuit, which claims Adams sexually assaulted Beach-Mathura in 1993, seeks over $5 million in damages, a charge Adams denies.
