Monroe County Legislature President Dr. Joe Carbone says he supports an independent investigation by the legislature into the conduct of Legislator Ernest Flagler-Mitchell. Carbone says that s as long as this third investigation would not interfere with investigations by the County Ethics Committee and the Monroe County District Attorney.
Carbone said those entities need space to do their job and conduct thorough and impartial investigations. He says their investigations should be completed first.
Flagler-Mitchell is accused by 19-year-old Lakaya Sinclair of sending a sexually-explicit picture to her phone. He says he intended it for his wife and sent it to the wrong number.
