A group of Macomb County women called Tuesday for Macomb County Prosecutor Peter Lucido to resign, arguing he is unfit because of “inappropriate workplace behavior” and association with “sexual predators and their defenders.”
Three representatives of the Macomb Accountability Project, a self-described grassroots organization, called for the former state lawmaker to step down during a virtual news conference.
“We are calling for Peter Lucido to resign,” said one of the women, Emily Mellits of Washington Township.
“… We will not be silent any longer,” she said. “Enough is enough.”
Lucido, who faced multiple accusations of sexual harassment while serving in the state Senate, described the group s effort against him Tuesday as disingenuous and a ploy.
