Azusa Mayor Says Commissioner Threatened Him

I cannot believe that there are people out there that would stoop to such lows. Azusa's Mayor, Joe Rocha, is an honest man of integrity. Anyone who knows him knows this. His heart is for the people of Azusa. But there are some who will turn to devious tactics...

As reported in the San Gabriel Valley Tribune and CBS2 (LA):

Rocha, who was sworn in as Azusa mayor that same day, has accused former planning commissioner Mark Ades of threatening to make public an allegation of sexual misconduct unless Rocha abandoned his aspirations to become mayor, authorities said, according to the Tribune.

This whole thing has me puzzled.
