From the San Diego Union Times:
Another woman has come forward with accusations that San Diego Mayor Bob Filner made unwanted advances -- this time at a church fundraiser in La Jolla to heighten awareness about refugees from Africa.
Renee Estill-Sombright, a bank employee and part-time professional singer, said she had met Filner once before and decided to re-introduce herself after singing the national anthem on a Sunday in June at the La Jolla Presbyterian Church.
The encounter quickly turned uncomfortable for the married 46-year-old, as the mayor invited her out repeatedly. Estill-Sombright said the mayor asked if she were married and lavished compliments on her.
"Oh you're so beautiful, you're so beautiful," said Filner, by Estill-Sombright's account. "I want to take you out. This is a private invite, not a social invite."
The gospel and R&B singer said the mayor went another step further.
“Because he missed me singing the national anthem, he said maybe I could give him a private song," she said.
The account was first reported by 10News, San Diego's ABC affiliate. The mayor's office was not immediately available for comment.
Ten women — including Filner’s former chief spokeswoman, Irene McCormack Jackson — have accused him of inappropriate sexual behavior and unwanted advances, including kisses, groping and derogatory comments. http://www.utsandiego.com/news/2013/aug/04/filner-church-accuser/
When it comes to sexual harassment of women, this guy puts everyone else to shame. He takes on powerful women, attacks them in Church and even attacked a military officer woman.
I'm sure Bill, Elliot, Anthony and John are wondering what this guy has and they don't because he is still in office but in treatment.
But one thing is for sure, the Democratic Party war on women continues.
No, no, no. Not as long as David Vitter remains a sitting Senator do you get away with that one, Dan! ;)
ReplyDeleteWell, he makes Vitter look like a piker as well.
ReplyDeleteHookers and diapers Vitter? Really?
ReplyDeleteOne thing I can say for both? Heterosexuals!
