IRONDEQUOIT, N.Y. — The Irondequoit Town Board has voted to censure town supervisor Andrae Evans after a former employee accused him of sexual harassment.
The board voted on Thursday night and the only “no” vote came from Evans himself. The censure limits Evans’ interactions with staff while he’s under investigation by the Monroe County District Attorney. During a previous town board meeting, Evans denied the sexual harassment claims.
“We all know politics can be down and dirty and full of unfair accusations. I’ve gone out of my way to rise above that,” Evans said. “But in addition to being supervisor, I’m also a man of integrity and pride who’s been unjustly accused.”
News10NBC asked Evans for a comment at Thursday’s meeting but he declined. Evans has not yet been charged with any crimes.
Evans will have to complete comprehensive management training and anti-sexual harassment courses. John Perticone, an Irondequoit Town Board member, spoke about why he voted to censure.
“The biggest reason is because we want him to work remotely. If this situation happened at any other private entity he would’ve been gone and fired by now,” Perticone said.
A report accuses Evans of making multiple sexual comments to a female employee of the town last year. You can read about the claims here.
