It happened in April 2013, at an event held at a park near Mission Bay.No word yet from Bob Filner's "friends", Bill and Hillary Clinton on this story:
When city employee Stacy McKenzie learned that the newly elected mayor, Bob Filner, was in attendance, she decided to introduce herself. That led to what she described in court Tuesday as two “uncomfortable” encounters with Filner, who later resigned from his position amid a flurry of sexual harassment accusations.
McKenzie told a San Diego jury that shortly after she introduced herself, Filner asked her on a date, which she found disturbing. Moments later, after she moved away from him, the mayor approached her from behind and put her in a “chokehold,” she said.
He pressed his body against hers, she said, and stroked her left arm.
“He said, ‘Isn’t she great? Isn’t she great,’” McKenzie said during a civil trial in San Diego Superior Court. She said Filner told two coworkers who were standing with her, “I’m going to be mentoring her. I’m going to make her employee of the day. What do you think?”
McKenzie, who has worked for 35 years as a district manager in the city parks department, filed the lawsuit against Filner, 73, more than two years ago, alleging sexual battery and sexual harassment in the workplace. She is also accusing the city of San Diego of failing to prevent the harassment.Doesn't the Democrat party care of about women?
