Sister of Scott Stringer sexual misconduct accuser Jean Kim slams former comptroller as ‘basic creep’

Jean Kim, the woman who accused former Comptroller Scott Stringer of sexual abuse, launched her latest legal attack against the Upper West Side pol with two sworn statements from allies who both labeled him a “creep.”

In one statement, Kim’s sister, Susan Kim, described how Stringer tried to flirt with her around the same general time that Jean Kim claims Stringer foisted himself upon her.

That anecdote, which has not been reported on previously, was included Thursday in an affidavit submitted to Manhattan Supreme Court, along with a second affidavit from Teresa Logan, who, like Jean Kim, accused Stringer in 2021 of making unwanted sexual advances years ago.

According to Susan Kim, Stringer appears to have been pursuing both sisters in 2001, around the time of his run for public advocate.

“At one political social gathering in the spring of 2001, I was engaged in a one-on-one conversation with Mr. Stringer without my sister present for the first (and last) time,” Susan Kim recalled in her affidavit. “After a few minutes of conversation, Mr. Stringer began asking me: ‘are you flirting with me...are you flirting with me...are you flirting with me...’ barraging me with this question in a crazily repetitive and surprisingly juvenile effort to, in fact, flirt with me.”

The questioning, said Kim, made her feel “uncomfortable,” leading her to “shut it down by making it very clear that I was not flirting with him.”

She then said she recalled him responding to her rebuff by saying that “for the record, I asked a 26-year-old woman out.”

“He was behaving with me like an awkward and basic creep,” Susan Kim went on.

In her statement, Susan Kim does not corroborate her sister Jean’s account of unwanted advances, saying only that during Stringer’s public advocate campaign her sister “become demonstrably distressed and traumatized.”

Those statements and the affidavit from Logan are the latest legal documents Jean Kim and her legal team submitted as part of her defense in a defamation case Stringer filed in December.

In that lawsuit, Stringer alleged that her “lies” did “irreparable harm to him and his political future.” Earlier this month, Stringer followed up with several sworn statements calling into question the veracity of statements made by both Jean Kim and her husband Anthony Caifano.

Stringer’s attorney Milt Williams said Friday that instead of addressing the issues raised in those documents, Kim keeps “maligning” Stringer.

“Faced with the evidence set forth in Mr. Stinger’s opposition papers which eviscerated the assertions set forth in her motion to dismiss, Ms. Kim, rather than focusing solely on the legal issues, continues to focus on maligning Mr. Stringer,” Williams said in a written statement.

Stringer maintains his relationship with Kim was consensual.

Logan, whose accusations against Stringer came weeks after Kim’s during the 2021 mayoral campaign, has alleged Stringer made unwanted advances during her time as a bartender — almost a decade before what Kim said she experienced.

On Thursday, she submitted court documents swearing to it.

In her affidavit, Logan said she felt “mortified” when Stringer, her 32-year-old boss at the time, got drunk around her and would “grope me openly in front of his friends.”

“Scott was also very open about how he found my 17-year-old sister very sexy and also made moves on her when she would visit me at the bar,” said Logan, who was 18 at the time. “I felt like Scott was a complete creep but figured that a lot of guys at bars were too so tried my best to gloss over it.”

On another occasion, she recalled sharing drinks with Stringer after work and him suggesting that they go to another bar.

“But when we came up to an apartment building, he invited me up. I told him there was no way and he then began kissing me and aggressively moving his hands up my skirt and my blouse,” she said. “It was like an out-of-body experience where I didn’t know how to react because he was my boss. But I do remember pushing him off me and telling him ‘no, no, no.’”

Logan also said she believes Jean Kim is telling the truth about Stringer “because he did the same thing to me.”
