Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti will be forced to give a deposition in a sexual harassment case involving his former top aide.
On Thursday, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Ruth Kwan gave the order to Garcetti that he participate in a deposition no later than Jan. 30, 2021, in a lawsuit filed by police Officer Matthew Garza, a former bodyguard to Garcetti who accused the mayor s longtime adviser, Rick Jacobs, of sexual misconduct.
Jacobs, who is taking a leave of absence from his nonprofit group tied to the mayor, has denied the allegations. Garcetti released a statement in October that said, in part, I take seriously all allegations of harassment.
