She was homeless and living out of a car. Filner told the caregiver, Michelle, that he would help Catherine (the vet) only if Michelle would date him.

i think she was hired to sing for some event and he tried to come on to her. i don't know all the details so i'm not sure if it was harrassment.

but she was there to work and he tells her he wants her to sing to him in private and finds her attractive . it would make me uncomfortable if i was there to work as she was and he did that.

She encourages all women to go to the Sheriff and get their cases looked at.

What I find farcical is the behavior, especially after being caught, of the mayor.

Somehow, I don't think that will happen. Gloria Allred knows how to play a news cycle.
