Filner ends rehab, locks changed on office
2013-08-11
[UTSANDIEGO] Mayor Bob Filner is ending his intensive behavioral therapy triggered by sexual harassment allegations earlier than expected while officials on Friday said the locks had been changed at his office.

Meanwhile,

his political support continued to crater as his last two allies on the City Council called for his resignation, making it unanimous, and U.S. Sen. Barbara Call me Senator! Boxer
Senator-for-Life from Caliphornia...
reiterated her call for him to step down in an impassioned open letter to the mayor.

It was another head-snapping day in the monthlong scandal that has enveloped City Hall as investigations by state, federal and local agencies continue into the sexual harassment claims and more.

City Attorney Jan Goldsmith confirmed that the locks were changed at the 11th-floor City Hall office of the mayor but said he couldn't say why.

"The fact is that I had the locks changed to protect the Mayor while he is away," Burdick told the Voice of San Diego via email Saturday. "My concern is/was that if anything was removed while the Mayor was away, it could raise all kinds of questions about preservation or spoliation of potential evidence. Because I could not possibly determine everyone who had keys, I believed it was necessary to ensure the integrity of his physical office in his absence. The Mayor will be given the keys upon his return."

An attorney hired by Filner to represent him in a sexual harassment lawsuit filed by his former top communications aide, Irene McCormack Jackson, said Filner will continue his therapy as an outpatient.

"Upon completion of the treatment program, Mayor Filner is planning to continue therapy sessions on an outpatient basis," said a statement from the office of attorney, James L. Payne of Los Angeles. "Mayor Filner is taking personal time next week and will be unavailable for comment. At this time, we do not have information as to when he will be available for comment."
