Anonymous Women

Two women wrote to San Diego media outlets soon after Filner's election as mayor that "more than one of us transferred out of his 'territory' to avoid his 'advances."

They added that "because we choose to remain anonymous, this letter may just be tossed into the round file. We'll take that risk...".

"If the measure of a man or woman matters for San Diego's mayor, the best we can hope for is that this letter prompts some investigation. If not, warn the women and good luck San Diego."

The letter was not released publicly until recent allegations came to light.
