A Latina lesbian member of the Salt Lake City Council has been accused by four people of sexual harassment while she mounts a campaign to win a U.S. congressional seat.

Three of the accusers are elected officials, and all said they were subjected to unwanted sexual advances from Eva Lopez Chavez.

‘We cannot excuse behavior — past or present — that trivializes or undermines the seriousness of sexual violence, assault, and harassment.’

Chavez said through an attorney that she was “shocked” by the allegations, denied one interaction had ever occurred, and claimed nothing inappropriate happened between three other accusers.

“She is prepared to address them in any forum. She stands ready to submit to a polygraph test regarding these various allegations if requested,” reads a statement from her attorney, Greg Skordas, to the Salt Lake Tribune.

Three of the accusers said they told others about the interactions at the time, and the Salt Lake Tribune said they confirmed the claims. All the alleged interactions occurred before Chavez was elected to the city council.

The accusers said they went public now partly because Chavez was running for office in the U.S. Congress and had castigated another politician over crude jokes he previously made about sexual battery and domestic violence.

“Our communities deserve leaders who take these issues seriously — not just in rhetoric but in conduct,” Chavez said in a statement about Democrat state Sen. Nate Blouin. “We cannot excuse behavior — past or present — that trivializes or undermines the seriousness of sexual violence, assault, and harassment.”

The accusers said her statement ignored her own behavior against women.

One of the accusers claimed that Chavez “pushed me back against a pillar so that my back was against the wall and told me, ‘The only reason I still f**k men is because a woman hasn’t shown me what I really want.'”

The Tribune described in detail the circumstances of the other accusations against Chavez.

Lopez says in her biography that she is the eldest daughter of an immigrant family from Mexico and the first Mexican-American elected to the Salt Lake City Council.

She also is a proponent of abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement, according to her profile on the X platform.

A teenage substitute teacher was arrested Thursday over threats he allegedly made on social media against a high school in Loudoun County.

Hadyn Dollery, 19, of Chantilly was arrested on Monday over threats of violence at John Champe High School, according to a press release from the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office.

Dollery was born a biological male but identified as a transgender woman. The sheriff’s office confirmed that he was booked as a male.

Police said they were tipped off about the alleged threat through the Safe2Talk app. He was taken into custody outside school grounds.

Dollery was charged with making threats of bodily injury and is being held at the Loudoun County Adult Detention Center without bond.

Police did not indicate if students or staff at the school had been under any immediate threat.

Dollery was a non-licensed substitute teacher, but he has been taken off the available substitute list, according to Loudoun County Public Schools.

A WJLA-TV report said Dollery was born a biological male but identified as a transgender woman. The sheriff’s office confirmed that he was booked as a male.

WJLA also reported that Dollery was employed at Eagle Ridge Middle School.

The Loudoun County School District has been the scene of numerous controversies, the latest of which was the punishment of a student for asking why a biological girl who identified as a male was allowed in the male locker room.

In 2021, a 15-year-old male wearing a skirt was accused of sexually assaulting a girl in a vacant classroom of an LCPS school and had been accused of a previous assault.

A Houston police officer was relieved of duty after video on social media allegedly showed her ranting about black people and using the N-word numerous times.

Ashley Gonzalez said in the post on Instagram that she confronted someone trying to steal her purse and called them the N-word during the altercation.

‘That is a sick mindset and is violence waiting to happen.’

“The amount of times that I will always and forever say that I f**king hate n*****s, oh my God. I f**king hate n*****s. Like, I hate y’all,” Gonzalez says in the video.

“I don’t f**king, ‘Oh, we were slaves!’ This and that. I don’t give a f**k, n*****. For a f**king reason you guys were f**king slaves. You guys don’t know anything better than to f**king steal!” she added.

She mocked the alleged thief for being offended when she used the N-word to insult them.

“Y’all don’t know how good it felt to say n***** out loud. … I felt like I was back in the Marine Corps, n*****,” she laughed.

She went on to assert that if a black person called for the police and she responded, she would put that person in jail.

The video was posted to social media, where it quickly went viral. KHOU-TV counted the times she used the N-word and reported it was more than 25 times.

Police1 confirmed that Gonzalez served in the Marine Corps from 2019 until 2023 and also worked as an officer for the Houston Police Dept. starting in 2024.

The Houston Police Officers’ Union condemned the video in a statement on its Facebook account.

“The Houston Police Officers’ Union is extremely disturbed by a video circulating on social media regarding an officer making offensive, racist comments. In no way does the HPOU or its leadership condone or tolerate racist behavior from any of our officers,” the statement reads.

NAACP Houston President Bishop James Dixon also condemned the comments but defended other police officers against broad generalizations.

“That is a sick mindset and is violence waiting to happen,” Dixon said to KHOU.

“Most people in law enforcement don’t represent this ideology,” Dixon added. “She misrepresented, you know, her colleagues and those who are out here every day trying to build public trust through the kind of service they provide.”
