The tangled romantic history of NYC mayoral hopeful Scott Stringer

[NYPOST] Mayoral candidate Scott Stringer has insisted his relationship with a campaign "intern" was consensual, and happened before he was married, but he left out an important detail — he had a girlfriend at the time.

Stringer, 61, the current city Comptroller, was in a romantic relationship with Jeanne Salvatore while he was allegedly harassing former campaign worker Jean Kim, sources told The Post.

Salvatore, then a spokeswoman for the Insurance Information Institute, and Stringer, a state Assemblyman vying to be public advocate, shared the same one-bedroom apartment at 326 Columbus Ave. in 2001, public records show.

This is the same time period during which Kim, 49, said Stringer made unwanted advances, including groping her in a taxi and asking repeatedly "Why won’t you f—k me?" He promised to help her become the first Asian-American district leader, Kim said.

"He never had my consent to any physical contact at all, nor did he even seek my consent," said Kim in a statement to The Post. "He took for granted that he could do what he wanted and disregarded my humanity. You can call yourself an advocate for women and under-represented communities, but if you take advantage of women who are younger, inexperienced and without the privileges you enjoy, you are not fooling anyone that you are a person of integrity, much less a leader."

Stringer claims he and Kim had an "on-and-off relationship over a few months" and that he believed "it was a mutual, consensual relationship." He said she was not an intern, but a campaign volunteer, and insisted he never used foul language as Kim alleged.

"I don’t talk that way. That’s not the language I use and I didn’t use that language ever," he insisted.
