SAN DIEGO (AP) — Irene McCormack Jackson says she endured months of harassment from Mayor Bob Filner while serving as his communications director, and the turning point came at a staff meeting in June when another top aide confronted the mayor over his behavior and quit.
"You are running a terrible office. You are treating women in a horrible manner. What you are doing may even be illegal," Allen Jones, then Filner's deputy chief of staff and a longtime confidante, is quoted saying in a sexual harassment lawsuit filed by McCormack.
