SAN DIEGO — Days after his stunning announcement that he was ending his state Senate campaign to seek treatment for post-traumatic stress and alcohol abuse, San Diego County Supervisor Nathan Fletcher has been accused in a lawsuit of sexual harassment and sexual assault.
The civil litigation was filed late Tuesday by a former employee at the Metropolitan Transit System, the public agency that operates the San Diego trolley and bus network. Fletcher was chair of its board of directors from 2019 until he resigned Tuesday.
Grecia Figueroa is a former television journalist who worked at MTS from 2019 until she was terminated last month — on the same day, she says, that Fletcher announced he was running to succeed Sen. Toni Atkins in representing the 39th District after she is termed out next year.
