Third woman accuses San Diego mayor of unwanted advances

(Reuters) - A third woman came forward on Wednesday to accuse embattled San Diego Mayor Bob Filner of making unwelcome sexual advances, telling a local television station that he tried to kiss her at a restaurant in 2009.

School psychologist Morgan Rose's interview with KPBS-TV came the same day the mayor appointed a woman as his new chief of staff and a state agency said it would investigate an employment complaint against Filner.

A former aide filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against Filner earlier this week and Democrats in the city have urged the 70-year-old politician to resign.

Rose told KPBS she met with Filner in 2009, when he was a California congressman, to promote the work of America's Angel Campaign, a nonprofit she founded to help children.

1. Doesn't CA have a 3 strikes law? /nt

3. If and when making a pass becomes a crime, you might want to count it as one strike.

Not to worry.

The Bank of America, which recently lost in its efforts to have a chalk-writing protestor convicted and incarcertated for up to 13 years for writing unkind statements on sidewalks in front of its branches, will come up with another "victim" tomorrow or the next day.

Offering a kiss, which was not completed, seems more like a situation described by Alexander Pope in his poem The Rape of the Lock.

2. He made a pass at her? -- He tried to kiss her? -- But didn't? -- Will she recover?
