Scott Stringer, the former city comptroller, can move forward with his defamation case against the woman who accused him of sexual misconduct amid his failed
2021 mayoral run, a state appeals court ruled on Thursday.
“We have maintained from the very beginning that these accusations against Mr. Stringer were lies,” Stringer’s attorney Milt Williams said, in a statement. “This ruling makes it clear that the court believes Mr. Stringer should have an opportunity to litigate his claims. We look forward to moving ahead with our case, and establishing in a court of law what we have been saying from the start: the defamatory accusations against Mr. Stringer are politically motivated falsehoods.
As for his current mayoral campaign, Stringer has been fundraising since January, when he launched a committee to explore a 2025 mayoral bid. He has been routinely sending out emails soliciting donations since then.
