A U.S. senator said he's received 'numerous credible allegations' that L.A. Mayor Eric Garcetti was aware of sexual harassment and assaults of city employees committed by his adviser, but did nothing to stop the misconduct.
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.
During his confirmation hearing, Garcetti said:"I want to say unequivocally that I never witnessed nor was it brought to my attention the behavior that's been alleged, and I also want to assure you that if it had been, I would have immediately taken action to stop that." A former member of the mayor's security detail, Los Angeles Police Department Officer Matthew Garza, has sued the city alleging Jacobs sexually harassed him in front of the mayor, who did not intervene.
