Jim Maloof was the Mayor of Peoria. The city settled a sexual harassment suit after his secretary accused him of unwanted kisses and hugs and of making inappropriately personal lewd comments. In 1993, 37 female city employees complained to the Illinois Department of Human Rights and the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission that Maloof and other officials had engaged in sexual discrimination and harassment.
