Filner faces allegations of unwanted advances from multiple women, including his former communications director, Irene McCormack Jackson, who filed a lawsuit on July 22 against the mayor and the city.

The accusations have prompted a recall effort and a chorus of calls for Filner to resign, including from seven of nine City Council members.
Dealing a double rebuke to its mayor, the council voted unanimously Tuesday to sue Filner to require the mayor pay for any damages or attorney fees out of his own pocket if the city is held liable. It also moved to deny Filner funds for his legal defense.
