NEWS RELEASE CONTACT: Billszone News Service (415) 723-2558 Sexual harassment charges filed against BillsZone Presidential Candidate MBBedard, a Leading candidate for BillsZone President, said in response that "I dispute these charges and plan to contest them vigorously" and "I am confident that in due course I shall be completely vindicated." Two women students brought separate formal complaints against Bedard in December and February. An ad hoc committee appointed by the Ethics and Campaign Finance Office investigated and forwarded its findings to the executive directors's office in late April. "In accordance with our faculty discipline policy, I attempted to resolve the matter with Mr. Bedard before taking this step," Lawesome97 said. "He did not accept the sanctions I proposed and told me to screw a donkey, and I have therefore forwarded a formal statement of the charges to the Zone Advisory Board." The Office’s Statement on Candidate Discipline requires the Executive Director, when bringing charges to the Zone's Advisory Board - a standing committee of seven drunks elected by the other posters - to propose a maximum sanction. Lawesome97 proposed a maximum of one year's suspension without pay, followed by a period of probation. The charges against MBBedard are:
The case will be the first to go to a hearing before the Advisory Board since current disciplinary procedures were adopted in 1972. No date has been set for that hearing, which may be open or closed at the candidate's option. In a written statement, MBBedard said he was "deeply distressed" that the Office had made public its charges before completion of the disciplinary procedures. He said that "no prior case of sexual harassment in the Ombudsperson's memory has ever been made public, it reeks of political brinksmanship and partisan politics" and that he had been told that the possible sanctions resulting from a hearing could "dramatically increase" over those offered if he agreed to a settlement. "I ask fair minded observers to reach their own conclusions as to whether these harsh sanctions and their unprecedented and lacerating publicity, imposed before any adjudication of the charges, which affects both family and the accused, represent the prudent administration of justice, or whether they are a media response to the recent embarrassing revelations of serious misconduct at Billszone," Bedard said. Lawesome declined to comment on Mr. Bedard’s statement. Charges of sexism by Billszone posters gained widespread attention in early June when Dr. Frances Conley made public her resignation from the Zone after being groped by a man only known as “Mikey”. Conley, one of the nation's first female neurosurgeons, cited sexist attitudes and behavior as a main reason for her resignation. MBBedard has been affiliated with the Zone as a poster, mod and poster-of- the- year since its inception. After graduating from -ts- |

Re: Shocking Revelations Against Zone Prez Candidate!!!
No press is bad press.I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
"Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.
