WTHR | Accuser responds to Indianapolis mayor's harassment investigation @WTHR13News | Uploaded 6 days ago | Updated 19 hours ago
A day after Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett signed a proposal for an independent investigation into allegations of sexual harassment against one of his former deputy mayors, a woman who said that same man harassed her while they worked for the mayor's 2015 campaign spoke to 13News.
On Thursday, Sept. 12, Hogsett signed a proposal passed by the Indianapolis City-County Council earlier this week.
Proposal 287 creates an investigative committee of Indianapolis city-county councilors to look into how the Hogsett administration handled investigations into his former deputy mayor and 2015 campaign manager Thomas Cook.
Lauren Roberts said Cook harassed her while he was her boss when she worked for the campaign in 2015. She said whether the committee subpoenas her or not, she's open to talking to its members about her experience.
That's not the only conversation she'd like to have.
Roberts said she still wants to meet with Hogsett and emailed him Thursday after he signed the proposal to tell him that.
