Get the Led out

The backstory behind former Mono County CAO Jim Leddy’s sudden departure.

Former Mono County Administrator (CAO) Jim Leddy allegedly looked down a county employee’s blouse, tried to guess her bra size, asked her if she wanted to take a bath with him, invited her to a threesome, and wanted to make a check out to her “for sex.”

These claims are based on testimony made by the victim, “Jane” to the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH).

Leddy was pulling down $160,000 a year (plus benefits) running the County, but found time to allegedly sexually harass, discriminate and send profane and lewd messages via cell phone to a County employee on a weekly basis from June 2013, the month he started the job, to February 2015, when the victim finally filed a complaint with the state.

According to the victim’s testimony, Leddy was quite the charmer.

Twice a week, he allegedly told Jane she looked like a woman working the Strip in Las Vegas.
