A new report released on Monday alleges that Los Angeles Democrat Mayor Eric Garcetti routinely witnessed one of his top aides allegedly engaging in sexual misconduct and not only failed to stop it but even laughed about it during one alleged incident.

“This summer, a 23-year veteran of the Los Angeles Police Department filed a lawsuit against the city,” journalist Yashar Ali reported. “Officer Matthew Garza, who had served on the security detail that protects Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, alleged that one of Garcetti’s top aides, Rick Jacobs, routinely assaulted and harassed him—and that Garcetti had witnessed the assault and harassment and did nothing to stop it, nor hold Jacobs accountable.”
