A fifteenth woman came forward Thursday to San Diego’s KFMB claiming that Mayor Bob Filner (D) made an “inappropriate movement” on her body at a public event years ago. 

Attorney Kathryn Vaughn, who is one of four local women organizing a rally and march on Sunday calling on Filner to resign, told KFMB that the incident occurred a decade ago but she chose to “let it go.”

“He came up to me and I had a very uncomfortable moment with him,” Vaughn said. “And at the time, I froze and looked around for my husband and there were a lot of other people in the room.”

When a KFMB anchor asked to clarify that Filner waited until her husband walked away, then groped her, Vaughn affirmed.

“He made an inappropriate movement on my body, yes,” she said.
