More Scandal from the Mayor's Office
This one's received a little media attention, but not much:
Nestor Lopez, who at the time was a receptionist for Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, falsely reported he was stabbed June 3 at about 3:30 a.m. by attempted robbers, investigators said.When confronted by investigators later, Lopez said he had gone to the area for a sexual rendezvous with another man and mistakenly reached under a blanket and touched a sleeping homeless woman, who awakened and stabbed him.
Lopez was charged Thursday with two misdemeanor counts of filing a false police report, said Frank Mateljan, a spokesman for the city attorney's office....
Lopez left his City Hall job two days after the incident.
The mayor's office declined to comment, calling the incident a personnel matter.
Not that the mayor bears any responsibility for this one, but the story is just too bizarre to ignore. You know, the classic case of mistaken identity -- sleeping homeless woman gets mixed up with sleazy gay-sex partner. No one knew who was who until the knife had been plunged.
Happens all the time!
