SAN DIEGO (KGTV) – Nathan Fletcher “was not involved” in the firing of Grecia Figueroa, a former Metropolitan Transit System employee who sued the ex-San Diego County Supervisor for sexual harassment and sexual assault, according to findings from an independent investigation.
MTS officials stated the Oppenheimer Investigations Group LLP (OIG) was hired by the agency to look into the claims made by Grecia Figueroa in her lawsuit against MTS and Fletcher.
Figueroa was fired by MTS from her public relations specialist position on Feb. 6, 2023, after being with the agency since June 2019.
Her firing came on the same day as Fletcher’s announced run for state Senate — a campaign he ended on March 26.
Figueroa filed her lawsuit against MTS and Fletcher two days after he ended his state Senate bid, alleging MTS “failed to prevent and address Fletcher’s sexual harassment and terminated her because she was sexually harassed by Fletcher.”
Fletcher, who resigned from his position as Chairman of the MTS Board of Directors on March 29, 2023, publicly denied Figueroa’s allegations, and he claimed that he only had “consensual interactions” with her.
