A second person has come forward to accuse a top advisor to Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti of sexual misconduct. A longtime player in politics and a former deputy chief of staff to the mayor, Jacobs is known for hosting fundraisers and other events at his home. Ali wrote that between 2005 and 2015 he attended at least a half dozen dinners at Jacobs’ house, where the alleged misconduct happened. “I considered [Jacobs] a friend, and we had many acquaintances in common,” Ali wrote. Jacobs has called Garza’s lawsuit a “work of pure fiction.” Garcetti has denied witnessing the behavior alleged by Garza.
