Former San Diego Mayor Bob Filner Pleads Guilty to Sexually Harassment; Avoids Prison 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


 
Former San Diego Mayor Bob Filner, who was forced to resign amid claims
of sexual harassment by at least 17 women, has pleaded guilty to felony
imprisonment and battery. The charges stem from separate incidents where
Filner allegedly put one woman in a headlock and restrained her, kissed
another against her will and groped a third. Under the plea deal, Filner
will avoid prison time, serving three months of home confinement and
three years of probation.
