ROCHESTER — City Councilor Chris Rice is facing a trial in front of
the council, accused of repeatedly sexually harassing a current
councilor and a former councilor by commenting about their bodies
and appearances and pressuring them to vote the way he wants.
Rice is also accused of creating a fake press release with the city
seal and threatening to make the mayor's life a "living hell."
An investigative report states City Councilor Ashley Desrochers
testified Rice started harassing her last fall before she was
elected as a first-term councilor. This included Rice telling her
during an election recount he wanted her to win so he would have "a
cute girl next to him and a cute gay guy next to him, too" on the
dais at council meetings, referring to Desrochers and another
councilor.
Palana Hunt-Hawkins, a former city councilor, made similar
allegations against Rice when testifying, the report states. She
testified Rice made comments about her sexuality and genitalia and
sexually aggressive comments about city employees.
