A second woman came forward Tuesday night to say that she plans to report an uncomfortable advance by San Diego Mayor Bob Filner. 

Political consultant Laura Fink, who worked for then-congressman Filner as a deputy campaign manager from 2004 to 2006, told KPBS News that Filner touched her “posterior” in front of guests at a 2005 fundraiser.

Fink told KPBS that she sent Filner an email detailing the incident, in which he asked her to “turn around” and put his hands on her “posterior” after a fundraiser attendee remarked that Fink had “worked her tush off” to organize the event. Fink demanded an apology and the mayor simply mumbled “I’m sorry” a few days later, she said.
