oh another democrat giving their party a bad name...

Former San Diego Mayor Bob Filner, driven from office by sexual harassment allegations, was charged Tuesday with felony false imprisonment and two counts of misdemeanor battery involving three women.

The felony count alleges false imprisonment “by violence, fraud, menace and deceit” but does not elaborate on the circumstances.

The victims were identified only as Jane Does.

Filner, 71, resigned in late August, succumbing to intense pressure after at least 17 women brought lurid sexual harassment allegations against the former 10-term congressman. He had been on the job less than nine months into a four-year term and was San Diego’s first Democratic mayor in 20 years.

San Diego County sheriff’s investigators had been interviewing Filner’s accusers and said they would deliver their findings to the attorney general’s office for possible prosecution. The state attorney general’s office confirmed in August that it launched a criminal investigation.

I think he got a little power hungry and felt he could do anything. I think we need to just have a complete reboot of government to help fix problems like these.
