Looks like he’s being charged criminally as well. Not shocking considering the allegations of groping.

Man, the guy let his sex addiction ruin his life.

Hard to believe that he harassed those women when he could have had his choice of willing partners.

This went way beyond “harassment” — the groping was basically assault.

Wow, seems Filner really got off easy – Joe SixPack would already be in solitary.

Yea, that was my thought. 3 years probation on house.

Granted given up part of the pension probably sucks, but how much pension did he forfeit?

He was only mayor for about nine months so I can’t imagine he was even vested in the City pension plan and if he was, he didn’t lose much. I am unaware that a Congressional (Federal) pension has any sort of reciprocity with state and local govm’t pension systems. Even if it was, whatever was going to be added onto his pension due to City service is likely minuscule.

Being convicted of a work-related felony (or pleading guilty to one) is the ONLY way a public servant can lose some or all of their pension.

Filner’s Congressional pension cannot be touched.

I haven’t yet seen the terms of Filner’s probation.

That’s what I suspected. Sounds good for the soundbite. They were tough, they took away his city pension, blah blah, net end result. Hey Bob, go stay in your comfy house or a while.
