Via NBC Los Angeles:
A jury dismissed most claims against San Diego Mayor Bob Filner in a sex harassment lawsuit Wednesday, but did say the woman accusing Filner was subject to unwanted contact because she was a woman.
The jury began deliberating Wednesday afternoon following five days of testimony regarding allegations made by a City of San Diego employee that she was inappropriately touched by the former mayor at a city event.
Stacy McKenzie, a manager for the City Parks and Recreation department, claims that in April 2013, Filner grabbed her from behind at a parks event and touched her inappropriately.
During deliberations, jurors considered 20 questions with subparts that involve three areas: sexual battery, harassment and damages.
Both Filner and the City of San Diego are accused of sexual harassment in the workplace.
