Previous Councilwoman Donna Frye claimed that an example of conduct had developed that incorporated addressing a lady's relationship status, disconnecting her, making a request for a later gathering, making sexual remarks and "physically infringing himself upon her."

"Sway Filner is unfortunately risky for any lady to approach, and again we approach the leader to leave and we need the ladies of this city and the individuals who adore them to realize that sexual misuse and this conduct is not standard, not their shortcoming and they are not to accuse --Bob Filner is to accuse," Frye said.

Filner did not react straightforwardly to the claims made by Frye and two counselors at a news gathering. Yet toward the beginning of today, in proclaiming staff progressions and emphasizing that he has no arrangements to go down, he discharged an articulation truism that as the city's chosen leader, "I completely hope to be responsible to the residents of San Diego for the sum of my activities."

"As a subject of this nation, I likewise want --and am qualified for --due procedure, and the chance to react in a reasonable and fair venue to particular charges. I don't accept I am blameworthy of sexual provocation, and I accept a full presentation of the actualities will vindicate me," Filner said.

Frye said one lady has asserted that throughout a gathering, Filner sent a staffer away then after that asked if she was single and made a request for a date and in the event that he could kiss her. Without sitting tight for a reaction, he supposedly got her and kissed her, as per Frye, who said the lady pulled away and left.

A different lady who met with the chairman in an open area charges that he called her wonderful, asked to kiss her, then "all of a sudden, and in clear perspective of any individual who may pass by, snatched and kissed her --sticking his tongue down her throat," Frye said.

"There is no situation that it might be proper for the leader to enter into a lift with my customer or any individual who he utilizes and to let them know that they might make an improved showing on that floor in the event that they worked without their undies on," Gonzalez said.

The law advocate portrayed the purported "Filner Headlock," in which the leader purportedly puts his arm around a lady and pulls her away; and the "Filner Dance," the procedure of a lady attempting to reproach an endeavor to kiss her.

Gonzalez said a sexual provocation case --an antecedent to a claim --might be documented with the city.

He said that Filner's later taped statement of regret, in which he affirmed that he neglected to completely regard ladies and now and again scared them, however denied sexually hassling anybody, was implicating.

"For purposes of the case that will approach and conceivably the claims, the chairman has as of recently conceded maltreating the sexual provocation strategy," Gonzalez said.

Briggs said the trio was attempting to adjust general society's entitlement to know with the right to protection of the ladies included.

Filner, in his explanation toward the beginning of today, said those calling for his renunciation supported their requests with claims that city operations might be bargained. Accordingly, he said he has named previous province Chief Administrative Officer Walt Ekard as the city's between time head working officer --a move he said was expected to reinforce city administration.

Ekard in turn delegated Scott Chadwick, who had been the city's interval COO, as the associate head working officer, and named Judy Vonkalinowski as human assets executive, consistent with Filner. She had been serving in that part on a break premise.

KPBS reported toward the beginning of today that Filner's previous fiancee, Bronwyn Ingram, said she as of late severed their engagement since he was verbally harsh to her and unmitigatedly sent sexually unequivocal quick messages to other ladies. Bronwyn Ingram, 48, said she likewise accepted the 70-year-old leader, who was chosen in November, might as well leave.

Ingram said Filner's capability to lead has been impeded by various later quarrels. On the other hand, she said that she had no immediate learning of the sexual provocation charges made against Filner.

"While I had heard bits of hearsay that he was participating in sexual associations with other ladies, I was never equipped to figure out their legitimacy," Ingram said in her explanation.
