City Comptroller and mayoral candidate Scott Stringer vehemently denied on Wednesday 20-year-old accusations of sexual assault made against him by a former campaign intern, Jean Kim.

According to reports, Kim, who currently works as a political lobbyist, had accused Stinger of sexually assaulting her in 2001. In response, Stringer emerged hand-in-hand with his wife, Elyse Buxbaum, to face an army of cameras and rebuke the allegation.
