Outrage and embarrassment.

Those sentiments were repeated a number of times by upset Port Wentworth residents addressing the City Council at Thursday night's meeting.

Residents were referring to an up-skirt Facebook photo of Councilwoman Debbie Johnson. The photo was posted by resident Eric Steely.

Johnson filed a complaint with the city in July, stating that a council member took a photo of Johnson "exposing between my legs," behind the closed doors of a closed session of the council.

"The only individuals allowed (in closed sessions) are the mayor, city manager, city attorney, council members and the city clerk," Johnson wrote.

In the claim, Johnson states that Mayor Glenn Jones, Councilman Bill Herrin, former Councilman Lloyd Ernie Stanhope and former Councilman Tim Holbrook are all Facebook friends with Eric Steely.

Johnson also writes that Facebook has a record of Jones, Herrin and Stanhope viewing the photo in question.

"I was outraged, embarrassed and ashamed for (Johnson) and this community," Christopher Jarrell said Thursday. "I'm reminded of a fifth grade classroom where the teacher has stepped out."

Jarrell and several other speakers said the Facebook photo made them embarrassed to tell people they lived in Port Wentworth.

Resident Jessie Jones also had some strong words for the mayor.

"I was hurt, but not surprised this came from your administration," Jones said. "This is not your first scandal."

Jessie Jones said Johnson was a victim of an "Electronic Rape." "There are no words I can say to assuage your hurt," he said to Johnson.

Mayor Jones got emotional and said he was tired of being "slammed" for things he hasn't done.

"I'm sick and tired of it," the mayor said, adding that anyone who wants to talk to him can. "Come and see me. I'll admit it when it's my fault."

Mayor Jones also said he and Johnson had talked things over, and said he knows there is work that needs to be done to heal the council.

Johnson's complaint is being investigated by the Internal Affairs division of the Chatham County Sheriff's Office. As of Wednesday the investigation was not complete, according to Sheriff John Wilcher.
