It’s believed that Fletcher, a member of the San Diego County Board of Supervisors, will be paid as much as $26,000 while on medical leave prior to his resignation date of May 15
The now-disgraced San Diego County Supervisor Nathan Fletcher, who announced last week that he had stepped down as chair of the San Diego Metropolitan Transit System and planned on resigning from the county board in mid-May, will have to make do without a very expensive security detail and a very healthy paycheck.
To date, two women, one who worked with Fletcher at the MTS and a second, who interned at a nonprofit he founded, have alleged that Fletcher improperly touched them. Grecia Figueroa, a former public relations representative who worked at the MTS, has alleged in a suit that Fletcher sexually assaulted her twice. Fletcher stated last week that what occurred with Figueroa were “consensual interactions’; he has denied anything improper occurred involving the intern, who was 19 years old in 2015 when, she alleged, he called her “hot” and ran his hand over her buttocks.
I love it when the high and mighty and holier-than-thou fall!
Karma is awesome!!!
I’m certainly not defending the guy. He may very well be a pig who abused his position of authority. However, he is still entitled to some semblance of due process. Even in medieval France a pig received a full trial before being hung.
I am bothered by his ability to have a security detail. Why does he need one? To protect him and his wife from the consequences of their mouths running amuck? I am also bothered by the 8 years afterward this is being brought forth (i.e., eliminate the statute of limitations to encourage this action, 2015 v 2023).
