"Unfortunately, this is just the latest in a litany of troubling controversies surrounding this current mayor. The sexual assaults of our children … in and around our schools, which ought to be the very places where our children should be the most protected, is despicable and unforgiveable," McCarthy, who is also running for mayor, said in a statement. "The only thing we hear from the current mayor are apologies. Parents don't need apologies for these deplorable acts … they and their children need accountability. How many more scandals do we need? How much more mismanagement? And how many more excuses are we going to hear from this mayor and his administration?"
