Ex-D.C. deputy mayor sexually harassed employee, investigation finds

A sexual harassment investigation into John Falcicchio, the former deputy mayor and chief of staff for D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser, has determined he made unwanted advances and sent lewd messages to a female staffer under his supervision.

The Mayor’s Office of Legal Counsel released late Saturday a report that verified the harassment allegations against Mr. Falcicchio after a three-month probe into the mayor’s former right-hand man.

Investigators confirmed an allegation that Mr. Falcicchio “exposed his sexual organs” during one of the incidents. The mayor’s legal office said it arrived at its conclusions after conducting 32 interviews with 21 people, which included current and former city employees.A woman working in the Office of the Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development — Mr. Falcicchio’s former post — first contacted the mayor’s legal office with the allegations on March 8.

Of the 11 people who were rumored to have had sexual contact with Mr. Falcicchio, four denied the allegations and the other seven didn’t participate in the investigation.
