NYPD Sergeant Sues Mayor's Aide for Sexual Harassment, Career Sabotage

The lawsuit accuses Timothy Pearson of repeated misconduct, casting a shadow over Mayor Adams' administration.

A lawsuit filed by retired NYPD sergeant Roxanne Ludemann accuses Mayor Eric Adams’ top aide, Timothy Pearson, of sexual harassment and sabotaging her career.
The complaint alleges Pearson made repeated sexual advances, blocked promotions, and engaged in inappropriate behavior, impacting Ludemann and potentially other female officers.
Pearson, a key figure in Mayor Adams’ administration, is also under investigation for an altercation at a migrant shelter.
The lawsuit highlights a culture of misogyny within the NYPD, echoing broader issues of gender discrimination in male-dominated industries.
Mayor Adams is facing a separate sexual assault lawsuit, adding to the controversy surrounding his administration.
