Filner reminds me of the Batman villain called "Penguin" Especially when he smiles. All the allegations were true after all I'm surprised he pleaded guilty, he should of resigned sooner.

Bob Filner

Former San Diego Mayor Bob Filner was sentenced today to three years of formal probation as well as home confinement for a period of 90 days starting January 1. During that 90-day period, Filner will be required to be on GPS monitoring.

Filner, who pleaded guilty to sexually harassing three women while in office, was sentenced in a San Diego County courthouse by Judge Robert Trentacosta. Read the story here.

The ex-mayor, 71, addressed the court just before today's sentencing.

"I want to apologize to my family who have stood by me during this ordeal. To my loyal staff and supporters. To the citizens of San Diego. Most sincerely to the women I have hurt and offended.

"To all of you I make the same promise I made to my family. To earn back your trust and my integrity no matter how long it takes and no matter what I have to do. I've already started on my path and I am grateful to all those who are helping me.

"The letter submitted to this court by my family shows the progress they have already seen -- certainly the behaviors before this court today will never be repeated. And I am confident I will come out of this a better person, and I look forward to making further contribution to the city that I love."

Filner was elected mayor in November 2012 after serving in Congress for 20 years.

This year, 19 women accused him of offensive behavior during his tenure as mayor and as a congressman.

After veering between contrition and defiance, he resigned August 30. Ref. CNN

He got off so easy. No prison time for Filner means he keeps his payout after resigning and he won't have to spend time with any of the thugs he might of help incarcerate.
