Smith claims that the Murrieta Mayor made unwanted and inappropriate sexual advances, groped and eve tried to kiss her after she accepted his offer to walk her to her car.

A claim was filed with the city and it had 45 days to act on her claim clearing the way to a lawsuit. Her attorney Dan Gilleon filed the lawsuit when the City ignored Smith’s claim.

Mayor Harry Ramos denied sexually harassing Kathleen Smith at the Murrieta Chamber of Commerce Mixer in January.

“This never happened,” said Ramos. I would never embarrass myself, my family or my city by doing what she is alleging”. The Mayor is an ex-marine and is married with three children.
