Mayoral candidate Scott Stringer has been accused of sexually assaulting a campaign volunteer 20 years ago — but he's vowed to stay in the race

“Jean Kim shared her experience of sexual assault and Scott Stringer failed to acknowledge and consider his responsibility for that harm,” the group said in a statement, adding it would throw its support behind the candidates it had previously ranked second and third — Dianne Morales and Maya Wiley.

“We are rescinding our endorsement of Scott Stringer’s mayoral campaign,” is all the legislators wrote. They followed state Sen. Jessica Ramos, an enthusiastic Stringer supporter whothat she was concerned his weakened candidacy would embolden the candidacy of Andrew Yang. "I understand that this is a difficult moment for my supporters, and I know that some of them will feel compelled to withdraw their endorsement of my candidacy," he said. "This campaign was always going to be about the people. I've received a lot of support on campaign stops over the last two days, and I'm going to be campaigning in every neighborhood, in every borough for the next two months.

The United Federation of Teachers and Rep. Jerry Nadler, a mentor to Stringer, have also yet to rescind their backing — further evidence his longtime allies are standing by his side as his newer coalition splinters.
