Just days before the start of early voting, a new report is once again raising questions about Democratic candidate Scott Stringer’s past behavior. According to a new report in The New York Times, the allegation dates back to 1992, when the now Ccity Ccomptroller was involved with runningTWEAKED TO ‘RAN’ IF ACCURATE CUZ NOT SURE WHAT WE MEAN BY INVOLVED IN. ran a bar on the Upper West Side. Awoman named Teresa Logan told the Times that Stringer made unwanted advances and groped her on several occasions while she was employed at the bar. Stringer was 32 at the time they met and Logan was 18. Logan told the newspaper she did not want to press any charges, but that she wanted to tell her story. 

In response to the article, Stringer did not deny the allegations, but he released a statement to NY1: “While I do not remember Ms. Logan, if I ever did anything to make her uncomfortable, I am sorry.” 

Logan is now the second woman to come forward with an accusation of sexual misconduct against Stringer. His campaign was rocked in April when he was accused of harassment and groping by Jean Kim, who participated in his 2001 campaign for Ppublic Aadvocate.  Stringer has denied those allegations, saying he had a brief consensual relationship with Kim, but that her allegations accusations are not true. The Times says the same attorney representing Kim contacted the newspaper with the allegations from Ms. Logan.

After the allegations from Kim emerged in April, Stringer quickly lost a string of endorsements from longtime allies and his support dropped in opinion polls. However, his campaign retained key backers, such as the United Federation of Teachers, and he has continued to campaign around the city, claiming to be the only experienced progressive candidate in the race.
