Ein führender Chicagoer Ratsherr bestreitet die Vorwürfe einer Frau, die ihn beschuldigt hat, sie sexuell belästigt und körperlich angegriffen zu haben.

Die Frau behauptet, dass der Ratsherr sie auf einer Veranstaltung begrapscht und ihr gegenüber aggressive sexuelle Kommentare abgegeben habe. Sie hat Anzeige erstattet und fordert eine offizielle Untersuchung des Vorfalls.

Der Ratsherr weist die Anschuldigungen jedoch vehement zurück und beteuert seine Unschuld. Er bezeichnet die Vorwürfe als “völlig falsch” und “Verleumdungskampagne”.

Die örtliche Polizei hat bestätigt, dass sie die Anzeige untersucht und Zeugen befragt. Die Ermittlungen dauern noch an.

Der Vorfall hat eine Debatte über sexuelle Übergriffe und Belästigung in der Politik ausgelöst und die Frage aufgeworfen, wie solche Vorwürfe am besten behandelt werden können.
