UPDATE: A Metro Council panel has delayed a decision on Dan Johnson's fate. Read the story here.

The Louisville Metro Council is set to expel Councilman Dan Johnson on Monday, just four days after Democrats struck a deal to keep him in office despite his admission that he sexually harassed women on multiple occasions.

President David Yates confirmed with Courier Journal on Sunday that a three-member panel created by the Metro Council Court will hear a complaint that Johnson was in City Hall well after an agreed-upon time limit.

In a direct message via Twitter, Johnson said his colleagues are misreading the agreement he signed and that he will appeal any effort to remove him to Jefferson Circuit Court.

The council court, dominated by Democrats, voted 13-6 to censure Johnson, also a Democrat, rather than proceed with its removal trial.

The decision has been roundly criticized by residents across the political spectrum as swift action has been taken against other public figures accused of sexual harassment or assault. On Sunday, Kentucky House Speaker Jeff Hoover resigned as speaker after Courier Journal reports brought to light sexual harassment accusations against him.

Among its many provisions, Johnson agreed to stay out of City Hall except for 20 minutes before and 20 minutes after any "regularly scheduled" meeting.

Councilwoman Angela Leet said in a Nov. 2 email to Yates and several other council members and staff that she and five witnesses saw Johnson in the building about 28 minutes after the trial adjourned.

"By my account, he’s already violated your stipulations," Leet wrote in the email, which was obtained by Courier Journal from a source who asked to remain unnamed due to fear of reprisal.

Johnson said he was in City Hall because it was raining outside and that he was waiting for his wife to pick him up. He said the scenario Leet describes in her email doesn't fit with the agreement that he signed.

"I agreed to 20 minutes before and after council meetings and committee meetings not (the) council court," Johnson wrote in a Twitter message.

The deal struck with Johnson creates a three-member panel to decide his fate with Yates, Johnson and the five-member Charging Committee that sought his removal each appointing one representative.

Council Democrats Rick Blackwell, Barbara Sexton Smith, Barbara Shanklin have been selected to serve on the panel, Yates said.

The group will review any evidence pertaining to the complaint, and it has the right to remove Johnson immediately by a two-thirds vote, according to the deal.

Yates said the panel will review security camera footage on Monday morning and could vote on removing Johnson by this afternoon.

Johnson's troubles stem from a series of sexual harassment complaints made by at least three women, including Councilwoman Jessica Green, who said Johnson groped her during a community event in June. He was also accused of exposing his butt to a legislative aide and sexually harassing an employee with Greater Louisville Inc., the city's chamber of commerce.

Johnson said in the signed agreement that there was enough evidence to warrant removal, but he appeared to backtrack on that in interviews with other media outlets a day after the trial ended.

"I still say I did nothing wrong, but actually some of those incidents happened just like they said they did," Johnson told WDRB News on Thursday. "So if that's the case. I guess I did something wrong. But I didn't do it."

In an email Monday morning, Councilman Bill Hollander, chairman of the Democratic caucus, told Yates that interview and a Facebook post by Johnson claiming that he won his "battle at the council" also break the deal.

"Councilman Johnson has clearly violated the letter and spirit of the agreement," Hollander said.

The deal Johnson signed says that he waives his right to a removal trial. It also says he cannot initiate contact with any other council member or staff except by phone or email, and he can only attend ceremonial functions within the boundaries of his South End district.

Among the most bizarre provisions is one that says Johnson "agrees that any intentional or accidental exposure of his genitals or buttock" will result in a review to decide if he has violated the agreement.

Four Republicans and nine Democrats, including all seven Democratic women, supported the deal, citing the trial's cost and confusion about the number of votes needed for removal.

Democratic Councilwoman Marianne Butler said last week that she wasn't condoning Johnson's actions. She defended the agreement as one that "is very stringent and controls his movements within City Hall."
