Block on Trump's Asylum Ban Upheld by Supreme Court
San Diego Mayor Bob Filner reportedly told his communications manager to work without underwear, demanded kisses and repeatedly dragged her around in a headlock while whispering sexual advances.
These are some of the allegations contained in the first Bob Filner lawsuit (attached below) filed against the embattled mayor of the nation's eighth-largest city.
The sexual harassment lawsuit was filed by celebrity attorney Gloria Allred on behalf of Irene McCormack Jackson, the mayor's former director of communications. McCormack is a longtime journalist and employee of the San Diego Port District.
"I saw him place his hands where they did not belong on numerous women," McCormack said at a press conference Monday. "He is not fit to be the mayor of our great city."
On Friday the San Diego County Sheriff's Department opened a hotline to take calls from any possible victims of Filner's alleged conduct.
