Fourth Accuser Steps Forward Against Filner;
And a Fifth,
And a Sixth,
And a Seventh

Media still not interested. The story does not advance late-term abortion rights.

Among the new accusers: A college Dean and a Rear Admiral.

Yah, I'm sure he didn't make any "witty" remarks about her being a Rear Admiral.

Some of the new accusations:

He came up to me after the event was over. I was talking with friends and he gave me a hug. And then he touched me, actually groped me on my backside inappropriately," Bernie-Cloward said. I was left there startled and fearful. In fact, I actually had someone walk me to my car that night."

Patti Roscoe, "a prominent businesswoman in San Diego’s tourism and hospitality industry," said she knew Filner all the back from his City Council days. "And on numerous occasions, he put in me what I guess now is the famous headlock; and I felt fearful, even as well as I knew him, because it was an invasion into my space," Roscoe said. "And he would come in and try to kiss me on the lips and I’d have to squirm to get away. And just as recently as a few months ago this happened. I turned and he just slobbered down my chin." She went on to describe "And I was so violated and so offended. It’s just such a terrible invasion."

One of the women just speaks of cringey sexual remarks, unwanted kisses on the cheek, and hands that keep touching her knee and staying there too long -- which, for Filner, counts as courtly restraint, so I won't even bother counting that.

It's time for love in the dark, baby
You'll never see me comin'
