Bob Filner: What exactly did San Diego's Mayor Bob Filner do that is called sexual harassment by 7 women?



Even though San Diego’s Mayor Bob Filner initially apologized for his inappropriate behavior towards women, he does not appear to really understand the sexual harassment allegations against him. Born on Sept. 4, 1942, the now 70-year-old mayor might have trouble understanding why his (from his point of view) “manly” behavior is causing uproar.

The first woman who came publicly forward with sexual harassment allegations against Mayor Bob Filner is 57-year-old Irene McCormack Jackson who is a longtime San Diego Union-Tribune reporter and who left to work for the Port of San Diego before accepting a job with Filner's office in January of 2013. She filed a lawsuit in San Diego Superior Court against San Diego’s Mayor Bob Filner and the city and is being represented by no other than Jackson's high-profile Los Angeles-based attorney, Gloria Allred.

During her press conference on July 22, 2013, Gloria Allred gave the following description of Mayor Bob Filner’s behavior – she should work without her panties on, that he wanted to see her naked, that he could not wait to consummate their relationship (which there was none other than professional), and that he couldn’t wait to marry her.  He had the right to demand kisses, to drag her around in a headlock while whispering sexual comments in her ear. “He apparently thought that he had the right to tell her that he wanted to see her naked,” said Gloria Allred.

Irene McCormack Jackson also described Mayor Bob Filner’s behavior during the July 22, 2013 press conference.

San Diego Mayor Bob Filner in the hot seat: Should he resign?

San Diego’s Mayor Bob Filner is in the hot seat for alleged sexual harassment and mingling with real estate as San Diego’s 10News three video reports below show. Should Mayor Bob Filner resign or is his apology “I must and will change my behavior” enough?



A private investigator told San Diego’s Team 10 how Republicans have watched Bob Filner for years and how undercover pictures and videos show Bob Filner with women.


And as San Diego's Team 10 reports, Mayor Bob Filner isn't only "messing" with women but also with real estate as a couple from La Jolla had to find out.

"I have no idea, other than he is abusing his power in some way or he owed someone a favor," Jack Visin said. "I think he has a lot better things to do than messing around with an old 600-square-foot cottage."




Should Mayor Bob Filner save taxpayers money and resign?
