BREAKING Garcetti 'likely knew or should have known' about aide's alleged sexual misconduct, GOP senator's investigation finds
Mayor Eric Garcetti told U.S. senators considering his nomination to be ambassador to India that he never witnessed a former top adviser sexually harass one of his police bodyguards, allegations that are at the center of a lawsuit filed against his administration.Garcetti's nomination by President Joe Biden to become U.S. ambassador to India has languished since July and it's not known when a vote will take place, if at all.
In March, Grassley, the top Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, said in a statement he has received"numerous credible allegations" that Garcetti was aware of sexual harassment of city employees committed by his former adviser and close friend Rick Jacobs, but did nothing to stop the misconduct.
Garcetti has denied witnessing or being told of any inappropriate behavior by Jacobs. A lawsuit against the city charges that Jacobs frequently sexually harassed one of the mayor's police bodyguards while Garcetti ignored it or laughed it off. Jacobs has called the allegations against him"pure fiction."
