The investigation is the second to substantiate sexual harassment allegations against John Falcicchio, the D.C. mayor's former chief of staff.
An internal investigation has found that a former top adviser to Mayor Muriel E. Bowser on five separate occasions made unwelcome sexual advances toward a D.C. government employee, according to a report the Bowser administration released Monday.
The attorneys said they “urge the District to implement immediate and comprehensive reforms to safeguard others from being treated in this reprehensible manner.” The investigation substantiated the employee’s claim that Falcicchio on four occasions in 2020 made unwelcome “physical” advances at his apartment, according to the summary. The employee also claimed that Falcicchio that same year made an “unwanted sexual advance” at a “different location outside of work hours.” The summary that MOLC released does not specify the location.
In addition, the investigation did not substantiate the woman’s claim that, at Falcicchio’s “behest,” a senior staffer in the deputy mayor’s office “treated her unprofessionally” by excluding her from emails, ignoring her emails, giving her a poor performance evaluation and “belittling” her during meetings.The investigator determined that “some evidence” exists that the senior staffer treated the woman poorly, but did not find proof that Falcicchio influenced the treatment.
