Seattle newspapers reported that Kari Tupper, the daughter of
Adams’s longtime friends, filed a complaint against the Washington
Democrat in July of 1987, charging sexual assault. She claimed she
went to Adams’s house in March 1987 to get him to end a pattern of harassment, but that he drugged her and assaulted her. Adams denied
any sexual assault, saying they only talked about her employment
opportunities. Adams continued raising campaign funds and declared
for a second term in February of 1992. But two weeks later the
Seattle Times reported that eight other women were accusing Adams of
sexual molestation over the past 20 years, describing a history of
drugging and subsequent rape. Later that day, while still
proclaiming his innocence, Adams ended his campaign.
