Mayor Bob Filner To Be Sued By San Diego City Council To Recover Costs From Sexual Harassment Lawsuit
ELLIOT SPAGAT AP SAN DIEGO — The San Diego City Council has voted unanimously to deny a request to cover legal expenses in a sexual harassment suit against embattled Mayor Bob Filner. The City Council voted 9-0 on Tuesday night to deny the funds to Filner for a lawsuit filed by his former communications director Irene McCormack Jackson, one of eight women who have come forward recently with allegations of unwanted sexual advances from Filner. Earlier in the day, the council made a similar move, voting 9-0 in a closed session to require that Filner pay any costs incurred by the sexual harassment suit. Seven of nine City Council members have urged Filner to resign. THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below. The city of San Diego sued Mayor Bob Filner Tuesday to require that he pay any costs incurred from a sexual harassment lawsuit filed by his former communications director, dealing another setback to the leader of the nation's eighth-largest city amid mounting calls that he resign. The City Council voted 9-0 to ask that the mayor pay any damages and attorney fees if the city is found liable. The decision behind closed doors came hours before the Council was to consider a request by the mayor's attorney to have the city pay his legal expenses. "If Bob Filner engaged in unlawful conduct and the city is held liable, he will have to reimburse us every penny the city pays and its attorney fees," City Attorney Jan Goldsmith said.
