NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — New York City mayoral candidate Scott Stringer dismissed the two sexual misconduct allegations that have been lodged against him in a new interview on Monday, saying they were from “literally as far back as 30 years ago.”
In an interview with Bloomberg TV, Stringer, the current city comptroller, said it was “unfortunate that [the allegations have] had a big impact on the campaign.”
“But look, you know, this is not an easy venture, when you run for mayor of New York City, and people are gonna come at you, but I have full faith in the voters of the city who know my 30-year record,” he said. “They know the kind of person I am.”
Jean Kim, a former campaign volunteer for Stringer, accused him of groping and kissing her without her consent back in 2001.
Earlier this month, meanwhile, a woman named Teresa Logan accused Stringer of groping her and making “unwanted sexual advances” when she was working at an Upper West Side bar he co-founded and ran back in 1992.
Stringer denied Kim’s allegations, saying the two had an “on-and-off” consensual relationship at the time.
Responding to Logan’s claims, meanwhile, the comptroller said he had “no memory” of her.
“If, in fact, I met Ms. Logan, and ever did anything to make her uncomfortable, I am sorry,” he said in a statement.
